When I purchased my Heritage in 2011 it had a propipe on it. It was a little loud for me and after a long trip my ears would be ringing. I also moved into a retirement village so wanted to tone it down. I got a HardKore baffle and that quietened it down some but was never really happy with the tone. So recently I decided to buy a V&H quiet baffle and what a waste of money. It sounds a lot worse than the HardKore baffle and performance suffered. I also have a 103 conversion done with gear drive cams and a Dynojet tuner so I don't want to loose to much HP. I know quieting it down will loose some performance.
So I have run out of ideas and after suggestions for a quieter exhaust that won't hurt performance to much but still has a nice tone. Or am I asking to much?
Supertrapp Supermeg is tunable for sound levels and power, but listen to one before purchasing- some like the sound, some don't. I will say it doesn't kill HP like some quiet pipes.
Supertrapp.
Testing by one of the tuners here reveals the V&H quiet baffle actually hurts tq.
I've run the Propipe, Supermeg and the Fuel Moto Eseries. I like the Propipe but it is kinda loud.
My supermeg broke at the fwd 02 bung and their customer service Sucked.
The F/M pipe is fairly quiet and makes good power. It's a stepped header and the supertrapp isn't.
I see they don't make the eseries for a softail.
Another option would be a supertrapp baffle conversion to the Propipe.
Thanks for the replies. I should have done a bit more research before buying the V&H baffles as most of the reviews aren't that flash. I have found V&H customer service less than helpful

Would that conversion be an easy process? Do you know anyone who has done it?
I did the supertrap conversion to pro pipe years ago for my Heritage, really made a difference, you completley delete the pro pipe baffle, machine the endcap , install the supertrap ends, I ended up with 14 in mine it flew, great sound.
I was able to fit a Supertrapp Universal slip on muffler on a V&H Pro Pipe header on my 2005 Deluxe when I had it.
I ordered it from Summit Racing.
