Vance and Hines Super Q Baffles Install and Comparison to Vance and Hines Stock Big Shots Baffles

I've been thinking about lowering the sound on my Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe which has Vance and Hines Big Shots. I love the sound of my bike but I also want to be a good neighbor, and it's a little too loud for long rides at high speeds. So I bought some Vance and Hines Super Q Baffles. I paid $69.99 each ($139.98 for two plus shipping). Very easy install and you can hear the difference. On videos by other motorcyclists they didn't seem as extreme a difference but for some reason on my bike I think it's significant, almost too much. I'll ride with them for a while, burnout the packing a bit and see how they do. Also I'll have to retune the bike now since I modified the exhaust (yet again). But it's all good! I'm not sponsored by Revzilla or Vance and Hines.Thanks for watching! #harlydavidson #harley #motorcycle #vanceandhines #bigshots #superq #baffles #softail #exhaust #motorcycles

I have the quiet baffles on my 2003 Wide Glide and I like the sound much more than the one by the stock baffles. It is not really quieter but with less annoying high- and mid-range frequencies. It´s a deep mighty sound that even my neighbours like very much! ;)

[@ChiefHobie]

Yeah they sound great, I’m glad V&H has the optional baffles, cause the pipes look so good it’s cool to just swap out the baffles and still look great

[@Bambicakesb]

I also love the sound comparisons at the end!

[@ChiefHobie]

Thanks!

Awesome video, plain and simple....no Blah Blah Blah. Installing Baffles For Dummies.
I'm going to order a pair of these for my recently purchased 05 Fat Boy w/ existing Vance and Hines Long Shots.

[@ChiefHobie]

Thanks for the kind words Chris! Let me know what ya think when you get em installed.

[@edwardogomez2919]

Very well done sir. Thanks.

[@ChiefHobie]

Thanks!

[@Bambicakesb]

Nice production and music! Love V&H

[@ChiefHobie]

Thanks Shana!

[@MrMurphc13]

Fair difference in dBs there.Thanks for posting

[@ChiefHobie]

Yup, I’m trying another set soon that should be somewhere between the stock and the super Qs, I’ll make that video as soon as they arrive.

[@kye9549]

@@ChiefHobie are they the ‘quiet’. If so I have those but looking at maybe the super q’s

[@ChiefHobie]

@@kye9549 Hi Kye, these are the super q's and yup they are quiet in my opinion, they ended up being to quiet for my liking, but they do work as advertised for sure.

[@jamesemond7290]

Wow! Big difference. I bought the super quiet baffles for my Big Shots Staggered, but the pipes have heat shields, so not so easy a job as shown here.

[@ChiefHobie]

Thanks for sharing

[@nfnf8529]

Was it necessary to retune the motor or ECU after installing the Super Q baffles? Also, would it be possible to edit/extend the video to let us hear the Super Q baffles when the motor is revved? Tks!

[@ChiefHobie]

Now the baffles are stuck in the pipe with the hole drilled out, but I can do a video revving it for sure, but it’s not the super quiet baffle version anymore because I can’t get these ones out anymore. However, the sound has grown on me and now I kinda like it the way, I’m not sure what I’m gonna do. thanks for watching!

[@dextertabunon5610]

​@@ChiefHobie Why is it stuck? Is it because of the wrap?

[@ChiefHobie]

the wrap burns off quick, it’s the metal hitting a ridge somewhere, myself and the dealer tried everything to get them out, it’s a freak thing but I do like it for now, if I want to tone it down later I may have to spring for new pipes.

[@tactical1224]

No revving of the engine to hear the sound when on the throttle?

[@ChiefHobie]

Hi Tactical12, you’re right I should have given a better sound sample. In my latest video I did do that after I modified the baffle, I ride around with the baffles at different levels, I should have done that in this video, if I make another exhaust video I’ll do that for sure from now on. Thanks for the comment!

[@lio1999]

Shouldn’t you remove the plastic cover first?

[@ChiefHobie]

I think the Saran Wrap type material wrapped tightly around the baffle makes it much easier to install and helps hold the fiberglass material in place during the install, it will just burn off when you’re riding.

[@lio1999]

@@ChiefHobie thanks, you are right
after i writ my comment, i check vids on youtube, they mentioned plastic shouldn’t be removed
Thanks bro

[@travelinben1966]

Revzilla says no.

[@gussalgado550]

Y would u leave the plastic on its just going to melt..

[@ChiefHobie]

It burns off. I think the point of the the plastic is to hold the fiberglass in place when you slide it in. When I say plastic I’m referring to the thin layer around the baffle not the plastic bag they come in.

[@metcruza5536]

😂😂😂

[@killingtime8612]

I think the plastic might make it get stuck in there?

[@supernova82]

Vance and Hines recommend keeping the plastic cover.

[@grantarustamov9472]

пакет то снять нужно было не?

They won’t sell to rice burners. Wait to Harley goes out of business and the suck our dk’s
