DB killer or baffle?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have a race can and want to quieten it down slightly - I've searched the internet and found two possible options up to now, a baffle and a db killer.

My question is, what is the difference between the two? Which is the most efficient at reducing noise / easiest to fit etc.?

I thought they were the same thing, but the baffle comes with the exhaust, and a db killer is a generic baffle that fits lots of different exhausts, that is bought separately.

No idea if the above is true or not, like

In answer to your question: DizzyBlonde is both a killer (of bambis ) and she's a most baffling character also





Ahem, anyone know where my coat is? (you did ask for that one though )

Same thing.

My dad made a baffle for his old GSXR600; it quietened it down to be comfy, was still fruity though. Was a simple design, much like the baffles you get with exhausts anyway

I'm not sure there's actually a definition, but if there is, I think the above is it.

This is what I thought originally, but since have found that they look totally different;

DB killer




Baffle Kit

Oh #sits back and waits for the brainy people to explain #

Im gunna say theyre the same thing, from the teo piccies it looks like they do exactly the same thing just in slightly different ways (different design).

Baffle = reduce roise
Kill the decibels = reduce roise
