Anyone know where you can find the new "quiet" baffles for the Bigshots Staggered. I know they are on backorder but have seen some posts where guys have found them in stock. They are supposed to be available Aug 20 but each time the delivery date gets close, its pushed back. My wife says if I dont quiet this thing down she's leaving me (hehehehe...maybe thats a plus) and the neighbors say they are gonna lynch me. I like the sound, but from what I have read the new baffles sound great without a lot of the decibels.........Thanks in advance for any help

Ahh, yep, sure do know where you can get them. We have about a dozen sets left in stock from 50 sets yesterday.

<https://www.directparts.com/cgi-bin/...roduct/VH21869

Order quantity one as we paired them as sets.

Being V&H's largest retailer does help...

kwalker,

CD failed to mention that he'll ship those baffles to you for free if you buy $250 worth of stuff from Direct Parts, and there is no tax (unless you're unfortunate enough to live in AZ )

I purchased my V&H pipes through Direct Parts and was very happy with their service. It was actually V&H who directed me to DP and that's how I found this site. However, I'm getting of topic... I was also thinking about getting the "neighbor friendly" baffles when I got my pipes, but decided to just stick with the stock baffles. However, I am interested in what the quiet baffles sound like compared to stock, so if you do get them, be sure to post a follow up (or send me a PM) and let me know how they sound.

If you think you can, or think you can't, you're right!

Cool

Sisk,

Shame on you. I'm sure that anyone who is "fortunate" enough to live in Arizona will be proud to pay the sales tax.

CD..............YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea.....I recently purchased my Bigshots and high flow air kit from Direct Parts and also couldn't be happier I can't believe I didnt ask them about the new baffle. Duh..... I too like the sound of the standard baffle and may not change. If I do, I'll let the group know how I like them.......thanks for all your help

I intalled the quiet baffles last week. They are very quiet! A little
louder would be great. They do have the deep sound that I like,
and louden up a bit when cranked up. Real good torque. After about 400 miles my plugs look the best color I have seen yet. I do have the sportster needle jet,
and a high flow S&S aircleaner installed. V&H BigShots Staggered.
My scoot is a 02 FXST.
