Vance & Hines 3" Slash Cut Too Loud & How to Install

- The Vance & Hines 3" Slash Cut slip on mufflers are just too loud for my taste. I don't feel like spending another $120 for baffles to reduce the noise and from what I understand, they don't reduce the noise by much. See this 'how to' video too.

On Revzilla I saw there were 53 reviews for the V&H slip on baffles which should have told me something. That along with the fact that they are out of stock lets me know that a lot of people think they are too loud. Guess what? They are too loud.
Maybe I'm Deaf from F14's and A7's but I love mine :) You nay want to look at Indian two into one's.
@@trevorbrown4674 Thanks for the tip.
@@RemboUSMC Looking at your video to remember what’s needed to reinstall my factory mufflers. I think I have one missing bolt. The one at 7:53.
Hey bud I followed are your steps and completed the install perfectly, thank you for taking the time and for being so thorough with your instructions.
You are welcome. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Going for aftermarket exhaust without mufflers, you're just getting fancy straight pipes. It's gonna be loud as F no matter the bike. Now these exhausts with mufflers sound great. Still rather loud, but nowhere near the straight pipe option you went for. It's still louder than the stock with one set of baffles removed, but at least these don't scrape when leaning hard, being thinner and shorter.
I love your honesty. You're okay in my book.
Thanks. There is a thing as too loud.
Thanks for this video. This was my exact worry about them- a lot of the reviews are raving about these and the sound but it seemed incredibly loud to me. Too bad, I loved the profile... I find the stock too be way too big, especially on my Rogue. Hope I can find some sort of middle ground.
Glad I could help!
Any luck so far? I'm in the same boat
@@mtlamont Hey brother, so after a few weeks of research I settled on the Bassani slash cuts that people said were quieter than these and are helpfully also cheaper. I love them. Incredible low grumble but when you want it to be quiet it absolutely can be. No annoying drone and for me (since this is always going to be a preference thing obviously) they sound great. Feel free to send me any questions- I just picked mine up off Amazon and it was straight forward. Good luck and safe riding 👍🏽
@@HeadiestOne Awesome, thank you. Same to you and stay safe out there!
I recently sold my CBR600RR with a yoshi exhaust. I love noise but I just got back from test driving a private sale Indian Scout with these exhausts. HOLY COW it was obnoxiously loud even for a crotch rocket guy. The bike is a good deal so I will be ordering the quiet baffles. I don't need THAT much attention driving around town.
Congrats. Yeah, there is such a thing as too loud.
I had the same issue with the GP shorties. They were just too loud. Even with the baffle. I think I'm going to pay the extra money and get the the slip-ons directly from Indian.
@Rembo USMC
I am looking for exactly what you said in the video, something in between the stock pipes and the Vance & Hines ones.
Have you found it please?
I could really use your input!!!
Bassani are sweet
Over time the chrome tip gets dirty and turns to black from the exhaust. How do you clean yours? Thanks
I don’t
You can drill out your stock pipes to make them louder and you won't have to tune your bobtail
Any ideas on what product would sound good but not too loud?
While it’s way overpriced, the Indian OEM 2-into-1 is noticeably louder than the stock pipes, but not at all overly loud. I have them on my 2020 Bobber and they sound awesome. I got it at same time I bought the bike new and also got their Stage 1 intake and Indian OEM tune.
Agreed. They are too loud. They sound great when watching youtube vids of them, but hearing in person is ear-pearcing. I've heard the stage 1 from Indian is a good middle ground
Did you try the Q-Baffles?!!????
No I did not.
Got these on my 2021. They do not have to be retuned
as a vietnam vet and us with not so great hearing want our pipes louder to be recognized by crazies that dont see or hear our bikes. good luck on quiet
Slash cuts too loud? Ear plugs don't help?
I have slash cuts, wear ear plugs everything works out ok 👌🏽
It’s also not just about you. You should have some courtesy, you shouldn’t want to make everyone’s ears bleed.
Any find out tuning question? Answer?
You can have the dealer re-flash the computer but I am told unless you change the entire exhaust, slip ons don't need a reflash although I would do it anyway.
@@RemboUSMC appreciate the videos and information... hopefully they keep coming
I think majority of people think that every bike should be roaring .... its more of an old school mentality
True to your nature, what were 400, 500, 600... ? Nothing wrong with reading instructions!
No you don't have too tune it
How the hell did you get the barrel band clamps on? Fuck these things for real
I thought it was easy.
@@RemboUSMC lol, i got them on eventually, one of them straight up sheared the bolt, but the other is fine. These pipes are way louder than I was expecting though. Bad ass sound, but very loud. Still definitely prefer the sound over the OEM though.
@@victordove6810 They are certainly loud
yes VH WAY TOO LOUD on my 2016 bolt! Bought it with it installed I am going back to STOCK!
See, I am not alone with this opinion. Thanks for sharing.
I asked the Indian dealership I deal with and they told me with slip on exhaust you should not have to retune or flash the bike unless its running or sounding funny. Basini slip on might be better for you maybe
I agree, slip on exhaust really don’t require a retuning
The Bassani slip ons are louder than the Vance and Hines I rode one recently with the Bassani pipes sounded awesome but just too loud for everyday use also did a comparison of the Bassani next to a Scout with the Vance and Hines and the Bassani were louder, my wife called me when I was riding the bike with the Bassani and I couldn't hear her properly due to the volume. I am picking up the Vance and Hines slip ons tomorrow for my Scout Rogue and I have already purchased the Quiet baffles and will put them in straight away.
@@garthrobinson5479everyone else says the Bassani is quieter than Vance and Hines
Not sure what was going on there, Bassani are definitely quieter. Maybe someone removed the baffle from the Bassani and had baffles on the VH? Or just bad (blowing) connection on the install?
No ! They are not too loud :) I have them on my 2020 Scout Bobber. But they are friggin loud LOL
OK, too loud for me.
@@RemboUSMC haha
@@RemboUSMC Too loud for me too not sure about how to install the baffles ordered 3 inch baffles but the inside diameter is about 2 1/4 inch. Not sure if you have to take out the existing baffles. This is basically a straight shot muffler incredibly loud can't hear anything other than the pipes.
you don't need to tune the bike when you change exhaust, you don't need to tune the bike if you do intake. if you do both, you need to tune. tbh i suggest doing it anyway.
What was the point of this? You said don’t do it but do it basically lol
You wanna sell those slip ons?
I returned them already the next day. Sorry...
@@RemboUSMC thanks though👍🏾👍🏾
After all your bitching about it being TOO LOUD, you don’t provide a sound sample??? 😳😳😳
Correct. It was way too loud for me. Placing sound samples on RUclips is also useless as everyone listens at different levels and it something is too loud it gets cut by the limiter.

Man if these are too loud for you, you might wanna look into a nice Honda bike. I have these on my 2021 and regret them, they're not loud enough.
I’m sure all of your neighbors really dislike you then. I just installed them on mine and as soon as I started it up to hear them for the first time, shut the bike off and immediately yelled “I’m sorry everyone!”
