V&H Race Baffle vs Quiet Baffle - The Ultimate Bagger Build

[@zman11370]

Thanks for this! Instructions were MIA on the website, so knowledge of the notches was the best. Strap wrench to rotate the end cap, locate the notch. WD40 to loosen, and a slide hammer to help pull it out. 15-minute job, Thanks

[@brianacooley5083]

I personally love the sound of the race baffle

[@nickricholetti754]

i had all 3. race sounds the best but i lost a lot of low end …. so much so i had to put the standard back in

[@Khal03]

I have this pipe on an '08 Yamaha Roadliner 1900cc, without the baffle, and with no endcap, it is the loudest thing on the planet. My whole crowd rides Harleys. Loss in low end or not, rolling on the highway and cracking the throttle is the most fulfilling thing one can experience. The site of all of those 30-40 thousand dollar Harleys in the mirrors is just a pleasant side effect.

Thank you great presentation...I have straight shots on my sportster and need a insert..still looking and haven't found anything yet

[@saltshower]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. "Bob's your uncle" cracked me up!

[@andydawson2070]

Love that V twin sound.

[@Ed.Johnson]

You convinced me this is the exhaust (with quiet baffles) I'm getting. Been back and forth with these and another brand all winter. Thanks for great video.

[@RydinginStyle72]

Those baffles are always a pain in the butt. Great video

[@tonyhansen4295]

Is this the Pcx version or non Pcx version

[@shaunwyatt4814]

QUESTION: I have the pro pipe on my 2019 SGS. Has 128” engine and CR485 cam. And then dyno. After 500 miles or so, I had to switch to the quiet baffle. My question is - does changing from pro-pipe comp baffle to the quiet baffle require new dyno? Or does it not matter? If it does matter, why? Would it run any leaner or richer?

[@fredrickg5697]

Can you tell a big difference in sound between the standard baffle and competition? I have the standard and like the performance but it’s a little too quiet

[@jjridesmore2485]

Excellent effort at showing viewers the difference, but the video simply doesn't do them justice and you really can show the best feature of the quiet baffles and that would be how they sound at 70+ mph, they're almost silent compared to the race baffle at the same RPM.

[@darrinclem2502]

Thanks you answered some questions that I couldn’t find answers for. My bike came with that pipe and it gets very monotonous after spending several hours riding. I use mine for touring. Did it get rid of some of the popping?

[@exoprasta]

U can add mote glasswool in the baffle and make the noise lower and bassyer

[@dilligaf575]

Out of curiosity, did you ever end up camming this bike?? I have a 2013 Street Glide that I was running V&H Power Duals on with the Hi Output slip-on's, FP3 and Big Sucker, I switched to a 2 into 1 exhaust, Dynojet Power Vision with Target Tune (FP3 would not tune correctly no matter what myself and V&H Techs tried) and S&S 551 Chain Drive Cams and it turned my Glide into a whole different animal. Monster torque difference and incredible throttle response. If you liked the change you got with the V&H upgrades you did and you haven't already done so, I highly recommend cams next. If I had to do all over again though I would have gone with the Woods 222 cams, relatively close in price and torque output but more HP out of the Woods. Nice bike by the way, really dig the black and gold look.

[@seang3101]

The pro pipe comes with the race baffle? Or is that ordered separately?

[@eatmelily]

The Pipe should come with the Pro Pipe baffle, which is Not the Race Baffle, or the Quiet Baffle, Mine came with the Pro pipe baffle, never really saw one that came with a race baffle, but I have Not seen a lot of them. Quiet baffle is pretty quiet, overlally quiet IMO... I pulled my baffle out, stripped off the wrapping and reinstalled it...a Little louder, but not much. Sounds about the same at idle, and about 5% louder full on....still too quiet..... The Pro Pipe baffle that comes with the pipe is about twice the length of the Race baffle, and 2/3 the length of the quiet baffle...IFIRC.....

[@rbrasz]

Great video and just installed my Quiet baffle but do I leave the plastic wrap on ?

[@sway0221]

Nice vid nice sound....check your registration...you ridding dirty!🤣🤣🤣

[@starkiz]

That baffel you remove is race baffel ?

[@slayer04031974]

Was that shrink wrap around the fiberglass on the new baffle? It looked shiny. Lol

[@edud8452]

I have the same pipe on my Road King biggest problem ive had with it is after awhile the baffle starts rattling the outer chrome trim ring loosens up over time you have to pull it out and tighten up the 3 allen screws. It doesn't matter if you use locktite or not because of the heat next time I'm going to tack weld it🤣

[@PAULY-P]

Use High heat locktite. I think it's the white one.

[@RedEmpire36]

Yeah unfortunately the prior owner of my bike lost the end cap and baffle. Its far too loud and actually slower with no backpressure. Unfortunately nobody makes the end cap anymore. Going to try to install a baffle at the other end as actual end is far to wide for any aftermarket baffles

[@TheShorts1122]

What the baffle diameter??

[@kohlmjj]

Great video. Two questions. V&H has the quiet baffle listed as Part # 21904 which I can’t find. The quiet baffle at J&P is Part Number 21906. Which is yours? Second question, does the plastic wrapping around the fiberglass stay on?

[@nickricholetti754]

Yes it stays on and it burns off over time

[@erikmaness6440]

Lake Mathews dam ?

[@glenngorman5957]

What is the race baffle part number? And the quiet baffle?

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Oh I have no idea. Hit up VH

[@joshuagattshall6356]

What is that lift your using

[@coloradogrownHD]

I’m binge watching all the performance bagger videos and I gotta say I’m impressed with your shifting. Doesn’t even sound like your skipping a beat!

[@MOTOPILOT6]

After over 5 million shifts is becomes 2nd nature. Thx for watching

[@bruceprigge5212]

Thank you! :)

[@Chase_N]

Bro, the difference seems entirely negligable but thanks for the comparison. I just picked up the V&H Comp 2into1 for my Dyna. I found it insanely loud upon start up & thought I'd get the quiet baffle. LOL, after seeing this I'm thinking that'll be pretty much pointless.

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Trust me. As I stated in the video the quiet baffle is around 20 to 25% quieter. It’s much easier on the ears

[@0toeknee0]

@@MOTOPILOT6 i agree.....the quiet baffles are MUCH quieter. but still VERY deep. and they DO bark when you lay on the throttle......i feel more torque as well.

[@nickricholetti754]

Def a major difference in baffles. The comp is loud !!!!! More importantly , even after a new map was flashed I still lost a ton of low end power …… just ordered a standard baffle from 🇬🇧

[@TheShorts1122]

Is this a pcx system?

[@MOTOPILOT6]

What's pcx?

[@TheShorts1122]

@@MOTOPILOT6 power hambre exhaust is like the newer exhaust anyway do you know the model number of this exhaust

[@Mongo11b]

The comp baffles were to loud? Wow you have a really low tolerance

[@garzolar]

I did not find "quiet" baffle to be "quiet" at all.

[@MOTOPILOT6]

It is though

[@eatmelily]

My Pro Pipe baffle is pretty quiet, even with the packing pulled off of it, I can't imagine how quiet the Quiet baffle is? Everyone that hears it, says it sounds nice, but is too quiet...I'm over 70 years old, and no my hearing isn't bad, LOL....but it is definitely too quiet....

[@BerserkerNick]

Baffles? We don't need no stinking baffles

[@ChadwickRider]

Big difference... lower decimals and less resonance.

[@frankvernol6911]

Race baffle makes it run bad and real hard to tune. Better off with stock baffle

[@nickricholetti754]

Just learned this the hard way … lost all my low end power …. Sounds awesome at idle that’s about it

[@Plumbermark]

I'd be more interested in the performance differences rather than just the noise.

[@mattkoontz5517]

Sounds the same...WTF....brapp!

[@barackblows1942]

Always read the instructions last! 🤡

[@doncaruso1949]

They sound the same

[@MOTOPILOT6]

As I stated it’s about 25% quieter

[@rmcustom9573]

Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! V&H saw you comin' a mile away !!! Or should I say..."heard you" comin' a mile away !?!!! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! There's absolutely NO obvious difference between those baffles !!! I have the exact same pipe....and those pipes are for ONE THING ! To create noise, HP & TQ ! My engine is a 103, built w/racing cams, over-sized pistons, etc, etc. And it runs like a Grape-Ape ! The ONLY WAY you're going to quiet your engine down so you can hear your stereo...and so your wifey isn't deaf after a ride ....is to BUY A JAP-JUNK, CROTCH-ROCKET w/stock exhaust !!! Lol !! Or, change out your exhaust completely for a 2 into 2 restrictive exhaust ! Plain & simple. My scoots front tire lifts right off the pavement just gunnin' it in 1st gear ! Amazing what these V-twins will do when built right. And Its still very reliable for long road trips. Good luck !

[@tonyhansen4295]

Is your the Pcx version or regular. Can find anything saying if they sound the same Pcx vs non Pcx. Thanks.
