You had the DB meter on the curb for the quiet baffle and in the grass for the stock baffle. Believe it or not, that little distance makes a big difference in sound level. I’ll bet that the 3-4 db delta is more like 6 or 7 db if it was in the exact same spot.
And that's still a Harley. Now imagine all those douches who put super loud exhaust on shitty small bikes and quad bikes. Annoying as F. Literally nobody on the f-king planet likes that awful sound, except those few douches who ride it.
It might not sound that different on here, but there is a "sharpness" to the stock baffles that makes it impossible to hold a conversation and annoys the neighbours. The rumble at cruise with the "quiet baffles" is nice without causing hearing loss and they appear to eliminate the reversion so you can "lope" at low revs. So stock for youngsters to whom sound and getting attention is the main thing, quiet baffles for those who like to ride more than anything.
Nice! I just ordered a set! Im told the 650 is a loud bike. Apparently the note that bigger v twins on the highway make isn’t as in your ears so to speak
I but the baffles in my 300 Eliminators on 2019 M8 Slim. Took the top end nasties off. IMO more bottom meanness n no headache after an hour. Perfect, in-between stock n WTF.
Excellent test with the dB meter! I'm interested in slightly louder than stock pipes for my bike, but have no clue how loud pipes in a video actually are in real life. I wish more people would jump on the dB meter bandwagon.
Just got the same exhaust they are LOUD family could here me from 3 blocks away. Was thinking about wearing ear plugs. But if you want something loud get the pipes.
@@tims.2971 Tim not shore but the v&h you can't go wrong. They will be loud when you first put them on within time not as loud. But people will still know your coming.
@@leighdonald1467 hi. Wait. So when I removed my stock pipes. Did those have baffles? I don't recall seeing baffles w/ my Vance and Hines tips. Do they get ordered separately? Sorry for so many questions. Lol.
@@tun-tunninc.6492 stock Yamaha pipes have baffles and yes stock Vance and Hines Short shots have baffles in them that have to be removed first to install the quiet baffles.
You had the DB meter on the curb for the quiet baffle and further back in the grass for the stock baffle. Believe it or not, that little distance makes a big difference in sound level (for the idle comparison). I’ll bet that the 3-4 db delta is more like 6 or 7 db if the meter was in the exact same spot.
I'm pretty sure the stock position was with one leg up on the curb and quiet was with 2 legs up on the curb, so was almost identical distance from road however you will notice that they were filmed in two different positions, stock in shade from tree and quiet a few metres to the left of shade because I had to return home for a couple of hours to change baffles, so the bike was most likely different distances from the curb anyway. But it wasn't meant to be a proper scientific test, the db meter was just for reference, there was much more information in just listening to the difference in note between the two.
I’m baffled why I’m even watching this.

So baffles make it sound like a nice bike and without makes it sound like a fart in a tin can. Thank you for making this
No. Stock is with standard baffles

Quiet baffles are the way to go. Nice job.

Random question if you also have an XVS650, is the quiet baffles much different in terms of volume when doing 60mph/100kmph?
@@liamroberts218 Again, they change it more to a nice rumble rather than a fart. Probably not much quieter, but more pleasant to ride.
Adding baffles to mine to help not awaken the neighborhood when I come home from work
Did it work?
Because my family thought mine was a thunder
I put quiet baffles in mine. I much prefer the sound because its not as harsh and the bike actually rides way better.
Coffin Wolf bit more settled on the highway?
Mitch Morrissey yeh. I used to have to wear an ear plug because it was too loud. Now it’s a much nicer note that doesn’t hurt haha

@@AnarchistBogan Yeh bigger V twins don't scream as much on the highway
I ride a dyna super glide. Looking at baffles.

He was giving it a bit more throttle when accelerating with the quiet in.
Quite baffles sound much better, deep rumble!
Exactly what i was thinking! Quiet baffles just give it more of a rumble instead of a growl. I dig it
Which ones are louder on a hd 48? Short shots or mini grenades?
I know what I want for Christmas
What about quiet baffles with insulation removed?
Is it just me, or does the quiet baffles sound louder at High RPM's?
Higher pitch, which makes it sound louder.

What's a stock baffle?
The short shots come with baffles installed as standard

V and h Quiet baffle part number please???
Just do it the old fashioned cheap way, Chicken wire and Banana Skins 🐓🍌
Good job, and confirmed what I expected 👍
90db is max
So not worth the $80 a pop they want for them... got it...
If you want to make a yamaha sound great....dump it and get a Harley!!!! Otherwise, who cares what a yamaha sounds like!! lol
If you don't want to spend all your time standing on the side of the road fixing ya Harley.....dump it and get a Yamaha!!!!!
