Zoar, there are lots of home- made options for baffles, if you have the tools to make your own.

I have never attempted this before. I suppose I could do some research, check out youtubes, possibly buying tools, etc. I was just hoping for a remedy that did not require making my own baffles. But it is now in the mix of possible paths forward.  I have a small shop and fabrication abilities so maybe this may be what I end up doing.

Also, do any of you guys have experience with https://bigcitythunder.com/ for baffles for your Drifter aftermarket exhaust?

If your not a fan of loud pipes you can usually find the stock pipes now/then during the year online but every bike model I ever owned always had quiet stock pipes to include my Drifter. I always had to buy aftermarket pipes to get a nice rumble.  To each his own.   I bought a set of Road Burner aftermarket and was told it is similar to your VH pipes and Iam hoping that to be the case.  Will be installing soon.

If you do end up putting new original or any pipes on just make sure to replace your exhaust gaskets with the new pipes.

I bought the bike "used" like most people and it has Vance and Hines exhaust on this 800, but these pipes are way too loud. Can I add baffles or some insert(s) to quiet these down? I like the look of them but man that noise is too just much. Any suggestions?
I emailed Vance and Hines about it and have not had a reply. ...I suppose they don't like it when someone complains their pipes are TOO LOUD.
