Do they reduce the sound? Is the difference audible at idle and high rpm?<\/h2>\n

AEW Silent Baffles<\/h2>\n

I had installed the AEW TE102 pipes mainly for the looks. The stock pipes are very bottle gourd and I wanted more of a ridge gourd. (There are more macho descriptions like rocket launcher etc. but I think Interceptor owners are mostly vegetable market-type people so this analogy is more appropriate)<\/p>\n

Seeing that AEW offered more silent baffles, I was happy to try them as I am always worried about cops hearing the custom exhausts.<\/p>\n

I also tested them, here in the background you can see a field recorder on a tripod, meant to simulate a 5’10” policeman standing 6 feet away. Yet to verify if this is truly the median height of Bangalore policemen.<\/p>\n

Some highly scientific data of sound at idling RPM. In the screenshot of the DAW, you can see that the waveforms on top (old baffles) have a larger amplitude than the waveforms below (new baffle).<\/p>\n

Here’s a comparison of the EQ graphs. I think the mids and highs are all engine clatter and most of the low freq in this chart is from the exhaust. This is again at idle.<\/p>\n
