I also have been thinking about taking my Pythons off and going back to stock. Last winter I installed a stereo on my 2012 police electra glide and with the my wife on the bike some times she says "turn this song up I cant hear it" then between the exhaust and the music its deafening. I believe that's an indicator that I'm too old.

Interesting thread....I put SE Street Cannons on my RK soon after I bought it, and honestly even though they are street legal (measure of loudness) they are just too loud for me.....so I have been thinking of putting the stock ones back on. After reading through this thread, I think I'll do it to see how it works......

This spring I replaced a V&H Pro Pipe w/ a Supertrapp Supermeg. Using 26 discs and closed cap. Although I sometimes miss the sound of the v&h, quieter is better for me. Loud often made me jittery - a very bad state of mind for us -- and when I cranked the audio to hear above the pipe, the sound level was clearly bad for my hearing.

instead, try looking for a take off set of the cvo mufflers. they are 4'' diameter, have removeable endcaps (instead of the taper) and actually sound pretty good. especially, if you add the fullsac baffles.

don't waste your time. in looking at the oem fiche, the exhaust for a 2010 road king is the same as for a 2010 ultra limited.

I would suggest late model take-off CVO mufflers, I left them stock and like the sound but have the option of replacing the baffles.

That's me! I want to be "noticed" by texting teens and soccer moms in their BIG SUVs with the family dog bouncing around inside! If they're so distracted that they can't see you, then they should at least be able to hear you! Loud pipes really DO save lives!
