Default "HELP" I need a new exhaust system

Just got this bike a couple weeks ago. I love it. Already put almost 1,000 miles on it. However, I don't love the exhaust. I like the looks but, it is terribly loud. Don't get me wrong, I like loud but, these kill my ears with ear plugs in. I don't know who makes these, don't think I can get baffle in the with the turn down at the end. Any suggestions on a good looking and sounding exhaust? The bike is a custom build with an 04 80" out of a Softail with a Baker 5 speed trans.

Photo of your current system and what kind of bike you have would help.

Probably looking at Evo Softail exhausts and you will have to fab up brackets or mod the ones that come with it. I had a 113" Evo in a Paughco rigid frame and thats what I had to do.

Thanks. I love the bike, hate the sound. I want the low, deep rumble that these V-Twins put out, not the SCREAMING that is coming from it now.

Would big city thunder baffles work on that pipe? They've got a good low rumble.

Great looking retro style bike, very nice. Besides sound, you need a system that highlights the theme of your bike..something like this system.
