I hate to sound like a wuss. I purchased the Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes for my 2005 Softail Deluxe. I love the looks of these pipes but I find them to be too loud. Do I have any options to reduce the decibel level?

I appreciate any comments.

Thx.

Check with Direct Parts and see if they carry baffles for those pipes. When I purchased my V&H Bigshot Staggered pipes, there was an optional "quieter baffle" available for that pipe from V&H. I didn't ever try the quieter baffle and I don't know if it's available for your bike, but if you ask the guys at DP, I'm sure they can steer you in the right direction.

If you don't learn from your mistakes, what's the use of making them??
