- Installing the Vance & Hines twin slash competition baffles on the Harley Street Bob FXBB with Stage 3 kit. This is Part 1 of a two-video series on the Vance & Hines competition baffles. In this video, I cover the installation and sound at idle. In Part 2, I will share my impressions after putting some miles on the competition baffles. Vance & Hines offers three sets of baffles for the Twin Slash slip-ons: the standard baffles that come installed, quiet baffles, and competition baffles. Take a look at the installation process and hear how the competition baffles sound compared to the standard baffles.

Let me know if you’ve tried the competition or quiet baffles. This video covers the installation and sound comparison at idle. Part 2 will cover the performance differences after I’ve put some miles on them. Be sure to subscribe and hit the bell so you won’t miss out when I post the follow-up video. Thanks for watching!
At last, someone who knows how to do a proper A/B comparison. Well done Ron!
Hey Jonathan - thanks for the feedback! If you want a channel sticker send me a DM on Telegram or Instagram with the mailing info @RonsWorkshop
Those competition baffles just hit the spot
Agreed! Just a bit deeper and louder but not “neighbor hater” loud.
Competition baffles sound better to me. Great vid!
I agree - I’ve been enjoying the competition baffles, both the sound and performance. Thanks for the kind words!
I know Harley guys usually don’t like metrics, but I definitely like your competition baffles over the standard. On my 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50 slash cut full exhaust, I lose 5 mph top speed with the standard baffles in compared to no baffle. I’m about to order the competition baffles, but don’t know how they compare on flow to open pipes.
Hey Rick - well I really enjoys bikes of all kinds so no problems here :)
Let me know how the competition baffles work out. I suspect they’ll have more back pressure than open pipes but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

I installed V&H slash mufflers on my 2020 Lowrider. The sound was a bit to loud so I bought a set of their Quiet Baffles. Removing the baffle wasn't too bad, but installing the Quiets, with the fiberglass wrappings was a real struggle. I had to beat them in with a hammer and long rod. I'm pretty sure they're in there forever.
That sounds like a pain! Did that get the sound where you wanted it?
Omg yes I want loud
i search installing baffles. first video i could find of someone not removing them lol
Sounds really great, a bit different you can’t even tell the difference, are you ever tough change for a full system?
Thanks! Yes, when the warranty expires I plan to go with a different system. Maybe two into one, but I really like having two pipes.
Hi Ron, I have a twin slash on another bike, but I have such a hard time pulling them out, any tips? I already tried putting some wd40 on but no help..
Thanks in advance
Hi Steven! I happened to have a really unique pair of super long pliers with a very flat nose, and they worked perfectly. In general, pliers have worked the best for me, but they need thin jaws. You might also try getting a piece of relatively heavy steel wire, like 12 gauge, and bending a "J" into the end of it, and then stick it all the way in past the end of the baffle and try to hook it with the end of the J to pull it out. One other idea - maybe thread the retaining bolt into the boss from the INSIDE of the baffle, just far enough in so it does not go through to the pipe itself, and then try to pull it out by grabbing that bolt with pliers or vise grips. Try rotating it back and forth as you pull it out. Lastly, maybe heat up the outer pipe with a propane torch to get it to expand but not apply enough heat to warm up the baffle too - maybe that would give it enough wiggle room for you to pull it free. (Or maybe you try a combination of a couple of these...) Let me know if any of this helps!
@@RonsWorkshop Hi, Ron! thanks for so many tips! I shall give them a try over the weekend.
One thing is, I'm not sure if the twin slash for different makes uses different baffles; in your video when you took the baffles out with the pliers, it seem there are spaces between the baffle and the exhaust itself for the pliers to slide in and clamp.. baffles I have has maybe 1mm of space in between itself and the exhaust I feel no pliers would ever fit in.
I also dried the 2nd methold by bending a hanger in J shape trying to take it out (I used 2 and hooked them in diagonal points to apply even force) and still no luck.
Going to try thread the bolt from the inside and use pliers and see if it works.
Will apply heat at the same time!
I think they’re the same - when I reach in to grab them I’m actually grabbing the metal vents that are pressed into the baffles, and not the round edge of the baffle itself. Let me know how it goes! The bolt solution may be the one to get you going.
I recently changed to competition baffle. The sound is a lot different. I did not like the stock twin slash. But boy the change in sound.
Definitely get it. Don't think twice.
I like them too - definitely sounds a bit deeper and a bit louder but not “hate your neighbors” loud.
Wouldn’t the locktite be nullified by the heat of the pipes anyway?
Probably so! Maybe the thicker paste-type loctite that’s on the bolts is more heat resistant than the regular liquid. But I wouldn’t go with red loctite.
I need to reduce the sound of mine before my neighbours rise up against me so was going to attempt wrapping them, have you experienced this/completed this process at all. Simon
Hey Simon - unfortunately I haven't tried wrapping them at all. They also make quiet baffles, so you might check into those first. Let me know what you learn!
Ah ok. Let me know how it goes! Fortunately the worst part is getting the cover on and off so it should go smoothly.
Competition baffles sounds a little deeper to me 👍🏼
I agree - it’s subtle but there is a difference.
I actually thought the exact opposite. Sounded to me that the comp baffles were higher pitched. I actually preferred the stock baffles.
Like vidio
Is it bad to just leave out the baffles in general?
The thing to be aware of is whether or not it runs lean without the baffles since it will have less back pressure. Lean is not good.
@@RonsWorkshop does it sound good without baffles
My Big Radius are even with the baffles a turnon for car alarm systems... :D
Hey Christian Joseph Karner - that’s awesome. I’ve been thinking about the V&H mini grenades or possibly Rinehart. When the warranty is up I want to go to a complete system and tweak the fuel map too :)

Indeed competition baffles sound better to me, do you think the difference would be the same on Iron 883 engine?
Hey Tomaz - the Milwaukee 8 probably has a deeper sound, but I suspect the difference would be similar with the 883, with the competition baffles accentuating the deeper tones. Are you using twin slash slip-ons with the standard baffles now? Let me know what you end up with, and thanks for watching & commenting!

@@RonsWorkshop thanks Ron, I‘ve just put v&h slip-ons with no baffles at all. My plan is to install “competitions” (actually I ordered them already 😁) will let you know what is the final effect, fingers crossed 🤞
How’s it sound without baffles
Hey
Slow_But_Lower - I haven’t tried without any baffles but I’ll put that on the list! Thanks for watching and commenting - If you want a channel sticker send me a DM on Telegram or Instagram with the mailing info @RonsWorkshop
Boa noite , gostaria de saber , se vcs vendem, abafador da harley davison 883r 20011.
Olá - eu não vendo as peças, eu apenas trabalho nos projetos e compro as peças que preciso. Obrigado por verificar.
Just installed them on my Iron 883 - there is a big difference comparing to quiet baffles th-cam.com/video/_PrP9jE5LOM/w-d-xo.html
Hey A J - sorry about the delay in responding. TH-cam held the comment for review and I just discovered it. Thanks for sharing that. Quite a difference :)
What?? RUFCM!? Huge difference. Better wear a full helmet, because your ears are going bad. Sounds WAY better and crisper with the comp baffles.
Love it!
