Vance & Hines Twin Slash 3” Slip-ons Quiet Baffles: Are they worth it? Install and decibel meter comparison.
I have the Vance & Hines Twin Slash 3” Slip-ons installed on my 2017 Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy S (FLSTFBS). As much as I love the exhaust note, it is a little too spicy for my 5:30am starts before heading out to work. I heard that the quiet baffles might reduce just enough edge of the exhaust levels to not bother the neighbors as much. As a secondary benefit I heard that it will make the decel pop a lot quieter.
This was enough for me to give it a try. These Quiet Baffles are listed in al the usual online retailers. Most of them are charging $79-$99 each when they have them in stock. Too much. But then I found them at J&P Cycles in-stock for $59.99. I immediately ordered 2.
As of today, J&P Cycles is the only ones that have them in-stock. Everyone else says “coming soon”.

Comparison Note:
The videos used here were recorded with an iPhone. The iPhone does auto gain adjustments on the mic input, so you can’t really compare loudness levels from different videos or even in the same video recording. That is why I used the decibel meter to show the differences. The iPhone does provide a very high quality recording, so the exhaust sounds lifelike.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I will answer when possible.
