Quiet Baffles: Who makes 'em? Which one is the best? - Harley Davidson Forums: Harley Davidson Motorcycle Forum

I have BUB Jug Hugger pipes in the U.S. I was never really in love with the stock baffle. The pipes are a bit snarly in the upper-mid range. (The do sound wicked without the baffle... making that GRRLLLAAAPP sound on the decel!) Plus, BUB Jug Huggers have the unique ability of offering crap for backpressure.

FYI: I need a 1 7/8" inner; 2" outer diameter baffle for a straight pipe.

I have found these options for quiet (increase backpressure) baffles:
- BCT Quality Quiet Baffles - P/N: QBL1854 - $129.99/pair
- BUB Stealth Baffles - P/N: 1860-0108 - approx. $65/pair

Are the BCT's worth the high price over the BUB's?

Thanks guys!

I'm lookin' for quiet baffles. I can't tell if they are a quiet design by their length. Do you know?

Quiet baffles generally have (create) more backpressure and come with some kind of wrapping to absorb exhaust pulses.

These are V&H Quiet Baffles for straightshots... Note the sealed off inlet that forces exhaust to go another route, through the baffling material....

Sort of true. Somewhat quieter at idle and cruise speeds.
