Default Quiet pipes

Looking for pipes a bit quieter than stock on my 2016 Trike. Still trying to transition from GoldWing to Harley. It hasn't been easy but getting there. I do enjoy a more quiet ride. Thanks

There are a few brands who make quiet mufflers, such as S&S. I'm not sure if they will be suitable for your trike, or reduce noise output. Unfortunately you have to bear in mind the mindset of many Harley owners, which is to make as much noise as they can get away with!

Quiter than stock? Not sure if that exists. Could try car mufflers or something similar. To preserve some performance but quiten things down you need muffler size/volume like car mufflers. Or the s&s spo muffler as mentioned above.

Khrome Werks makes a nice, quiet muffler too. I actually believe they make the S&S exhaust.

I have a set of 3.5" on my bike and a set of 4" mufflers laying around. I don't think they are quieter than stock, but very mellow.

Consider Ear plugs?

Cheapest upgrade for sound, or should I say no sound.
(& sometimes BSR)
