These might be the best sounding mufflers for Harley Davidson! Tab Performance comparison and review

We got some 4" Tab Performance BAM sticks for the Ultra Limited and try out two different baffles to see which ones we like better, the Zombies or the 2.5" Medium louvered baffles. If you're deciding on new exhaust and can't decide which baffle to go with, check out the video and it will help you decide!

[@timconway7860]

I just bought my Bam Sticks. When I carried them into my garage, my neighbors just smiled and waved. Probably the last time they’ll do THAT.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Hahahahaha

[@lomparti]

So it’s been 3 years.. have they done that yet?

[@danadiggins793]

Good choice. Loud pipes on a long ride are “exhausting”

[@SC-br6tu]

I see what you did there 👌🏼

[@bundybear3333]

Definitely the right decision guys, the medium baffles were my choice too. The medium baffles had a mellower, deeper, rumble than the Zombies. You don't need obnoxiously loud pipes out on the hwy when doing big miles as you're going to have ringing ears by the end of the day. I just fitted S&S superstreet 2 into 1 pipes to my Sportglide and they are a very nice pipe. Nice deep rumble when you wick it up but not annoying around town either. I previously had V& H big shots staggered on my 2012 Fatbob and they left my ears ringing after a extended hwy ride so I did not want to go down that path again at the age of 53 years young. Thanks guys, great Vlog. Take care.👍🇦🇺😊

[@JeffGerow-zt1hd]

I have a 2016 Heritage Softail. I watched several videos for Vance & Hines, Rineharts and Tab Performance and listened to each. For me, the Tab 2.5's sounded the best so I ordered them. They arrived within about 10 days. They were easy to install. The sound is awesome. My bike now sounds like a Harley. The 2.5's have a low and deep sound and are just loud enough. Highly recommend and very pleased. I have received compliments on the round tips which have a diamond cut look.

[@SixShooter14]

I agree. For a touring/cruising bike, I'd choose the deeper rumble. For a bar hopper, chopper, bobber, etc. the Zombie baffles have a mean bark. Great comparison!!

[@gadang66]

I got Tabs thrown in with my new bike purchase! I have 4" Bam Sticks with zombie baffles and have for the last year (5k miles). I then went with the HD Stage 2 (Torque) kit and the volume goes up so I just got the 2.5" baffles but have not installed them yet. Good job! We have to promote our great Nebraska companies!!!

[@johnhoehlein319]

Great video comparing the two baffles, thanks for sharing. 😎

[@darcher5888]

Probably the best video I have seen on pipes and perspectives. Especially since you included your other half! I can’t begin to tell you all the stuff I have bought for my bikes only to get rid of it later because my wife hated it. The one thing I would like to see would be seat comparisons from the wife’s view. I had to buy 3 friggin seats this year! It costs to much to replace her so other perspectives would help. Thanks for a well done video!

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Thank you! I always try to get her perspective when it's something she has to deal with too. Kind of nice to get her input on stuff, especially pipes. I'll keep a mental note on the seat. We really have only used the stock seat and this Mustang I currently have on it. She hates it lol.

[@BaggersandBrews]

Definitely liked the tone of the medium baffle. Best review on the channel so far!

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Thanks fellas!

[@emmanuelmaxim7566]

I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any tips you can offer me!

[@benedictmarco6242]

@Emmanuel Maxim instablaster =)

[@PAULY-P]

I kept the 4" V&H slip ons that came with my bike. I chopped the baffles in half and they were louder but never had that real deep sound that i was after. I took the baffles out completely and im sticking with that. I get loud but not overly loud because i still have the stock head pipes. I actually gained midrange and up tq. You dont lose back pressure because my 2 into 1 into 2 creates its own back pressure because they only 1.75" wide before the mufllers. If you want deep, the bigger inside diameter baffle you get is deeper than say your common 2" inside diameters. If i had a true dual then the bike would be too loud for my music lol. If you have stock head pipes, just get any non tinny (thicker metal) slip ons and take baffles out. You'll thank me later. Good video. Sorry for the long post.

[@ricwilmot1654]

absolutely right

[@dustinjohnson2116]

What motor? I have a 2006 twin cam 88 and have had the V&H twin slash. Head pipe is stock but I do have some motor work. I’ve been told taking the baffles out would harm the tune the bike has. Is this true?

[@PAULY-P]

@dustinjohnson2116 It's a 2009 StreetGlide with the 96 motor. I don't have issues with the tune. Same with my 2017 103 BreakOut. No issues with baffles out of the V&H big shots. You usually only need to re tune when adding more air, cams, motorwork etc. I've never had to re tune when just adding a new exhaust or taking baffles out or cutting them shorter. I do have Thunder Monster Baffles in the Big Shots on my BreakOut but they're really not baffles. Their pipe reducers with a loli pop design for added back pressure and deeper sound and less tinny/sonic boom sound. They're only 2" inside diameter.

[@dustinjohnson2116]

@ ok. Man I have read a lot of reviews and comments about how it affects your low end torque

[@PAULY-P]

@dustinjohnson2116 Yes, so have I for 30+ yrs of riding. It depends on your setup. I prefer mid range tq so low end tq in 1st or 2nd gear I don't care about. If you don't like the baffles out, let the motor breath and release the air quickly as possible by atleast cutting the baffles in half. Or put a loli pop design 6+ inches from the end of the pipe. If you have slip ons, just put the loli pop right before the open slip ons.

[@mimoreque1805]

I like the sound of the medium better, deep and loud without being annoying for 24/7 use... pretty cool.

[@BoDean52]

The Zombie baffles sounded best to me but was concerned about the passenger noise too, Lady Devil feedback helps people decide too. Great install and review brother. Ride safe

[@Kashmirknight]

I have the zombie baffles. The passenger noise is really not that bad but I can tell you the tone is not great. They are basically a straight pipe you look through and there is no baffling in the pipe itself it's solid all the way through.

[@warren8601]

Good choice. Loud is nice but too loud ends up being annoying.

[@DeBa1226]

No such thing as too loud if you ride. If you bar hop, that’s a different story

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

Just posted my before and after on the TAB Performance BAM slip ons with Zombie baffles. Man are they awesome. My wife was full on board to go as loud as possible. Congrats on your pick! It's all better than the stock sewing machine sound. And safer!

[@Aaronjw24]

Love my Tab Zombies. Also just ordered Tab’s head pipes. Can’t wait to get them installed.

[@ThadeusHall]

Great video! After a lot of research, I also went with the Tab medium slip-ons for my 2020 Heritage. If you get on them, they can be loud, or if you need to let a cager know you're there. But, I like the low rumble at idle and the nice growl between shifts...puts a smile on my face.

[@skyking4501]

I rode, for the last 20 years, with fish tail pipes and no baffles on a Road King, then this past year went to an ultra with stock pipes. Quite a change but I’m beginning to like the quiet. For me if I changed it would be to the mediums. I am finding that loud pipes make a more stressful ride, which I didn’t know until I went to stock. Thank you for the comparison video. Ride safe!!

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

I'm the same way. The quieter my ride, the more miles I can do. Even now if I toss ear plugs in it helps me go farther. I think the constant noise of wind and pipes just takes it toll on the body over a long day of riding.

[@harleygirl3276]

I have the BAM Sticks with zombie baffles on my 2018 Road Glide and they are pretty loud and I love the sound. I know if I did the head pipe, tuner and air cleaner it would be a bit louder.....but that will be a "down the road" project"... .needless to say, I really like them! Your bike sounds good!!! :-)

[@marvinr5054]

I bet you a shiny penny those medium baffles out perform those wide open block busters all day! Love the sound of them.

[@cliftonwilder]

I appreciate the review. I have a 2006 Road Glide with Stage 4 upgrade, 88 to 95, plus a long list of other mods. I bought the bike used, with Thunderheader 1024-B long style, black, 2 into 1. They were just too freakin' loud. Folks said they could hear me coming 2 blocks away. Plus, it's parked in an underground cement garage....so everyone knows when I start it up. So, like you, I went with the Tab Performance slip ons. I got the BAM sticks with Medium Baffle 2.50 inch louvered baffles, and, the black 2 into 2 headers. Had to make a few other adjustments cus the bike has a chain drive (not belt). Sounds much better, it's still fairly loud, but not obnoxious.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

My buddy had thunder headers on his 01 and they were loud but sounded terrible lol. Good choice switching those out!

[@GenXmadMike67]

Great video! I went with the medium baffles as well on my 2020 Softail deluxe. They sound exactly the way a Harley should sound!

[@chrisswank7318]

I have a set with the zombie’s and I love them. I get a lot of compliments on the sound

[@kenschmitt7064]

Great to see you guys back again! The zombies were too tin can sounding. You picked the right ones.

[@froggynz5315]

I've got a 2016 RK with stage 2, straight flow system (no cat and no baffles)... Love it! Great video thank you

[@benjaminmeyers9454]

I have the zombie baffeles on my 2020 Road King and love em. There loud but that's what I like. I did a 300 mile ride with em and I would never think about changing them out.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

I could definitely do 300 with them. I really liked them. It's those 600 mile days multiple days in a row where I was afraid they'd wear on us a bit so we opted for the mediums. But I have both now, so if we don't have any long trips planned, you can bet your a** I'll have the zombies in it 😂

[@HBelectrician]

By far the best review of any I have seen in giving a sound choice of these slip on mufflers. Glad I stumbled on this since living in California you cannot just have crazy loud pipes since the cops are looking to stop riders for this near the So Cal beach areas. Thanks---------------------

[@travelinben1966]

Like the medium baffles.Great job comparing and contrasting the two.👍👍

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Thanks. Yes I'm still super happy with them too. They broke in a little and got a touch louder but nothing crazy. They sound great.

[@theramblingsoflarry9290]

I like the mat finish. I like the medium baffles I like the part of the video showing scenery. So flat there you can see Georgia.

[@glidearkansas]

Great comparison! Either option is a good choice. They both sound great. I just preferred the zombie baffles on my Stage IV Twin Cam. I haven’t heard any complaints from Mrs. Glide either. See y’all on the road!

[@alexandreboisvert5990]

Thanks you for showing the inside as comparison. I just bought some used BAM Stick which the previous owner didn't know what kind of baffles he had. It help me identify what I would buy.

[@alexandreboisvert5990]

@@LifeontheBlacktop I'd let you know sooner or later, I bought them yesterday and didn't installed them yet and winter is coming here in Canada (Montreal). Plus, I have to run my Dynojet PV to tune the bike also making it full stage 1 and planning on going catless and maybe installed a cam this winter. Only have my RK for 3 months (first HD) and I am completely victim of the Harley fever. Great channel and content! Thank you!

[@Donfleebie1]

I noticed you grabbed your ear when you 6k revved the Zombie's. Good choice going with the Mediums. They sound very much like my SE Street Cannons, deep at idle, loud under throttle, but mellow at 70.

[@michaeld6010]

thank you for that comparison... I almost bought the zombies...but this comparison I went with the Medium liked the lower sound.

I have the Zombies on mine with their headpipe and a cam ( it's loud ) but I want to keep part of that and do like some others have done and just change out just the right side to a louvered baffle .

[@harleydave2316]

Great video and comparison. I have also run both zombies and the louvered but the best is when you combine them. Put the louvered in the right pipe and the Zombie in the left. Try it out. 😋

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

[@treyhugs9338]

How do they sound different when mixed?

[@DoucetteMichael]

Zombie baffles weren't obnoxiously loud, I'm glad you went with the medium louvered baffles :)

[@Kashmirknight]

Zombie baffles are loud but they have no tone. After multiple combinations TAB performance sound best without a baffle in my opinion.

[@georgeregester8734]

They both sound great. I like the zombie better though. Should've went with chrome though.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

It was a tough decision for sure

[@120074]

Stock head pipe vs non will will make a big difference. In sound. Zombie or loud pipes just aren’t good touring pipes my for my style of riding of riding so the Zombie mufflers or a no go for me. I have a Fulsac headpipe with CVO muffler body and Fulsac baffles. Perfect for my old ears. So many choices, Great Video

Job well done. You helped me. I'm going to switch out to the medium baffles. I been running the Zombies on my 2019 Ultra Limited since new but they become a tad too loud. Mean sounding but loud for sure. Like you I do a lot of long distance riding and the medium will be welcomed.

Nice video. Huge Thumbs-up. After extensive reading and research; I ordered the 4.5" BAMSTICKS with Zombie baffles. Slash cut with Zombie rings and torque cones. Retain as much torque as possible. Should be here this week. I will be installing these on my 2020 Road King Special with everything else stock engine wise. I'm pretty stoked. Ran the Zombies on my previous Sport Glide. Love them. Take care.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Thank you! You're going to love them I'm sure!

[@H20-town610]

Good comparison of the pipes. Medium would be my choice. It makes comunication between driver and passenger better.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

That was definitely one of our reasons as well since we don't use helmet communications

[@douglaskirk3036]

More info. I put the 50 Cal (5") pipes on with Zombie baffles AND I put the swirled looking torque rings in the back mostly for the look cause those 50 cals are HUGE looking on the back.....I put them on my 2019 Road Glide CVO....They are AWESOME and quite loud.....Fast forward....I just bought another bike, a 2023 Street Glide CVO and decided to put the same 50 Cals on except this time I decided to go with the 2.5 louvered baffles to quiet it down a bit. Sadly I was disappointed, I put them on and had the two bikes side by side and fired em both up...The louvered baffles sounded like a sewing machine hybrid, not much better then stock. SO I ordered the Zombie baffles from Tab and did the change out. now the bike sounds perfect. It would be nice if Tab had a baffle in between that of the Zombie and the 2.5 louvered. And Install....Look, that baffle may pull out that easy on a pipe that has never been installed yet and ran but my bike had about 40 miles on it with the louvered baffles when I changed them out and they were a mother to get out of the casing. Yes, you can bang them to the bottom of the casing but they dont pop out like his did, they get what's known as a heat weld and makes em tight and that last 1/2" when the baffle is flush with the casing at the bottom is when you gotta break out big hammer and crowbar to run inside the baffle to punch it out from the back. Putting the new baffles in wasn't to bad with a little origami and twisting they finally lined up at the top at the same time as lining up with the inner pipe that you have to fit perfectly over. Tip: mark the pigeon the top so its easier to align the holes while youre twisting the baffle to get it in. They sound great and look even better

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Great info! I have yet to hear the 50 cals as they weren't released back when I originally made this video. Maybe this year :)

[@tank7358]

I've got my eye on the exact pipe, but it is at my dealer w the Zombie baffles. Thnx for the sound clip. For my application, I'm gonna stick it out w the Zombies!

[@kritterhillvideos9221]

Excellent choice for that bike👍 I don’t think some people realize just how much low end torque you lose with the free flowing exhaust!

Yeah, my first set of slip ons were the CFR pipes and although loud and low, I had a huge torque loss down low that I could feel. So those came off fairly quickly

We went with modular helmets on our road glide limited because the fairing sux so bad. Since we can’t hear the stereo on the hyway and if I crank the volume up it is just noise…. We listen to music through our Sena system, group intercom etc. I think I will go with the zombies since I can’t hear my bike for the most part anyway. On a poker run or a memorial ride it’s fun to have loud exhaust. Taking off to work at 3am not so cool…. Lol

[@bobmohr4952]

What's the point with packing in Zombie as there are no holes for the packing to do anything?

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

It would still dampen the resonance a little. Otherwise you would hear all of the high pitch metal flexing and stuff.

Good to go Appreciate the work and now I'm deciding..

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Good luck on your decision!

[@edwardpoff575]

I’m wanting th Zombie baffles. Fresh off a Cholo with straight pipe Sampson’s fishtails!

[@dantaylor636]

Medium would be my pick.

Well done review! Thanks!

[@yaojiang]

Great video. Solved my problem.

[@rebelcat420]

I’m sure they will get a bit louder and deeper after you get a few miles on them. For a “bar hopper” or show bike, I love straight pipes.. for the longer trips, I do prefer a little quieter. These sound great, btw!

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Ditto!

[@georgesuzuki2989]

Great Video-- Have been trying to decide on slip ons--- I just got a 2020 Ultra Limited Zombies it is!! With just the slip-ons and zombie baffle would you need a tuner?? Thanks BD !!

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Technically yeah you should probably tune it. My first set of slip on I didn't tune it and I had some decel pop and eventually it turned my pipes gold from being too lean. Might as well toss an air cleaner on there while you're at it and give it a good tune 👍
