It might not sound that different on here, but there is a "sharpness" to the stock baffles that makes it impossible to hold a conversation and annoys the neighbours. The rumble at cruise with the "quiet baffles" is nice without causing hearing loss and they appear to eliminate the reversion so you can "lope" at low revs. So stock for youngsters to whom sound and getting attention is the main thing, quiet baffles for those who like to ride more than anything.
@@leighdonald1467 hi. Wait. So when I removed my stock pipes. Did those have baffles? I don't recall seeing baffles w/ my Vance and Hines tips. Do they get ordered separately? Sorry for so many questions. Lol.
@@tun-tunninc.6492 stock Yamaha pipes have baffles and yes stock Vance and Hines Short shots have baffles in them that have to be removed first to install the quiet baffles.
I but the baffles in my 300 Eliminators on 2019 M8 Slim. Took the top end nasties off. IMO more bottom meanness n no headache after an hour. Perfect, in-between stock n WTF.
You had the DB meter on the curb for the quiet baffle and further back in the grass for the stock baffle. Believe it or not, that little distance makes a big difference in sound level (for the idle comparison). I’ll bet that the 3-4 db delta is more like 6 or 7 db if the meter was in the exact same spot.
I'm pretty sure the stock position was with one leg up on the curb and quiet was with 2 legs up on the curb, so was almost identical distance from road however you will notice that they were filmed in two different positions, stock in shade from tree and quiet a few metres to the left of shade because I had to return home for a couple of hours to change baffles, so the bike was most likely different distances from the curb anyway. But it wasn't meant to be a proper scientific test, the db meter was just for reference, there was much more information in just listening to the difference in note between the two.

Actually there is a very good reason to rock loud pipes. There's a saying among cruiser riders that goes, "Loud pipes save lives." I'll let you figure that one out.
Excellent test with the dB meter! I'm interested in slightly louder than stock pipes for my bike, but have no clue how loud pipes in a video actually are in real life. I wish more people would jump on the dB meter bandwagon.
Just got the same exhaust they are LOUD family could here me from 3 blocks away. Was thinking about wearing ear plugs. But if you want something loud get the pipes.
@@tims.2971 Tim not shore but the v&h you can't go wrong. They will be loud when you first put them on within time not as loud. But people will still know your coming.
Nice! I just ordered a set! Im told the 650 is a loud bike. Apparently the note that bigger v twins on the highway make isn’t as in your ears so to speak
And that's still a Harley. Now imagine all those douches who put super loud exhaust on shitty small bikes and quad bikes. Annoying as F. Literally nobody on the f-king planet likes that awful sound, except those few douches who ride it.
yeah about 1.5 - 2 hours you start getting a sore ass but your not going to be doing much more than that between legs, i could try add more foam to the seat.
Yes i have done a bit of flying out of YCAB in slings out of gofly. I note that you were stopping it before the runway key. I have never flown a drifter or a gt500 but i would say the drifter is like a flying broomstick. A friend is rated on them and was flying it out of YCAB till they sold it.
