    Well, I'd like to review these for you boys, but......

    The package from Revzilla arrived today, didn't take long, so far, so good. Imagine my surprise when I opened the package to find......

    ONLY ONE FUCKING BAFFLE!!!!!!!!!!

    I remember thinking when I ordered them that I was worried about that. The order page seemed to conflict itself on whether one order was a pair or single. I should have asked I suppose, but who orders one fucking baffle for a set of twin pipes? I wonder how many people this happens too? An email questioning if I required a second one would have been nice, but I suppose the monkeys in the warehouse just pack and send.

    They charged forty fucking dollars for postage as well, so after I order the other one it will have cost me 280 fucking dollars for a set of fucking baffles that I'm not sure I will even like! Not fucking happy Jan!

    Rant over.

    When you look at the Revzilla website, they only mention baffle. 
    I take that to mean 1 baffle only, meaning you need to order a pair to get baffle(s).
    Pretty expensive by the pair.

    What really looks poor is the review by a MattT from Australia, he really gives 'em shit.
    You probably didn't get the chance to review that before you ordered yours.



    Effective baffle and packing design is a science and a dash of luck.
    Always a compromise between torque and power then the need to keep it quiet enough not to attract attention.

    I'm lucky that i noticed the same thing when ordering shocks for my Chev from the states. 
    I did ask cause the unit said 'each'. I assumed it would be a pair 'each' and asked and they said no it's a single.

    Who the fuck buys ONE shock absorber for a car?

    Well I emailed them, just to tell them it would be good if they made it a bit clearer. They have given me $20 credit, so pretty much met me half way for postage of the other baffle. Not bad service.
    Come to think of it, maybe the credit is in US dollars, which will work out even better.

    After reading the review on the baffles, I'm not sure I even want to install them. Sounds like they will quieten the bike too much. I really only wanted to make the note a bit deeper and get a bit of back pressure happening, as well as making it slightly quieter for the neighbors when I start it at 0445 every morning!

    Oh well, I suppose I'll be the guineapig for all you blokes running Big Radius pipes.

    Well i guess my answer to that would be 'They come as a pair mate.' 'We can just fit one if you like and you can take the other one home as a spare'. (you fuckwit)
