Big City Thunder Baffles

[BigDognSoCal]

I have a set of Mean Mother pipes I would like to re-install on my bike…the problem is they are too loud for a lot of cities were I ride…Is there anything available to quiet them down? I looked on the Super Trapp web site but no luck…I’ve seen ads for a baffle from Big City Thunder…Has anyone used them? Will they quiet the pipes down? Can these pipes be tamed?

The Mean Mothers have baffles in them orginally and you can get different ones for them. Pretty much any typical baffle that will fit the ID should work. Possibly check the ID and then go to Drag Specialtist, Custom Chrome, J&P, etc. There is a small screw that holds the baffles in place and makes it easy to change out.

I had them on my short shots they were not quieter only deeper sounding

Anyone with experience with these..."Quality Quiet Thunder Monster Baffles" these are from Big City...as the name implies they should be quiet-er...Or any other quiet type baffles? They are not returable in most cases so its buyer beware...

Greetings....I am a Newbie here. LOVE THIS SITE! I have the quite baffles on my '07 Mastiff with V&H Big Radius pipes...which now has 500 miles on it. I did not put a db meter on it, and in my opinion they did reduce the SOUND LEVEL some but not dramatically, but they did drop the SOUND TONE considerably and took away the annoying hollow tube/popping sound the stock V&H pipes have. As per instructions of the owner of Big City Thunder (Jim Maybeck..one of the nicest guys you will ever talk with), I am running them and all of the stock V&H baffles I could fit in...and the combo does work quite well. He even custom made me two long fastening bolts to put in the stock baffles to see if that would reduce the tone even more. I live by the 16th hole of a golf course, and I did not want to disturb the natives. I am very happy with the set-up.

thanks for the info...while I was surfing the net I found these. Has anyone heard of these baffles? they go behind the existing baffles to block some sound...

Update 8/6
I pickup a set of these baffles from SmartPartz...They didn’t seem like much at the time...I installed them and wow they make a huge difference...The sound is deep and throaty but the sound level is diminished quite a bit...As for performance, I replaced my stocker pipes and air filter, upped the Jets to .31/.78 so naturally the bike runs alot stronger than it did...In order to compare apples to apples I am going to run them for a few 100 miles then pull them to see the difference in performance...But for now as far as sound/performance goes these are keepers and worth the $69 bucks they charge...I'm not sure if these will stop a ticket for noise but if you are not on the gas the sound level is close to stock, just a deeper tone...I know that this is not a very popular subject but for those who secretly want performance with a lower volume for whatever reason, police, neighbors, age. This may be the way to keep your pipes and power and lower the volume...
