"Loud Pipes and Radio" = Twice as annoying to others as either individually.

 

RUSH Racing True Duals, Big Louie 4" slash-ups, 2.5" baffles...

If I want to hear the exhaust, I have to turn the stock radio down.

No issues hearing the stereo up to triple digits, although above 85 I'm really not paying attention to it.

 

The various responses highlight how subjective this topic is. Loud enough for whom?

I have tons of wattage and beefy spkrs, so I can crank my audio above most pipes. Nonetheless, my V&H Propipe was too loud. Sure, I could "hear" the audio, but to clearly hear the music in a way that is possible on a batwing, I had to crank it up. I was not comfortable bombing my ears and everyone around me with all that sound energy, so I switched to a Supertrapp Supermeg. I am much happier. I miss the booming sound of the V&H, but life is full of compromises. I went with crystal clear guitar licks and less exhaust rumble.

 

My stock radio sucked with the stock pipes. Highway speeds it sounded like garbage. I upgraded exhaust and sound system.

 

Your pipes must sound like my cousin's 13 SG with Rush mufflers. I have to wait to start mine so he'll know his is running.

 

I have no idea what your cousin's bike sounds like.

Mine sets off car alarms barely above idle in parking lots.

 

Thanks everyone i may give the fuel moto head pipe a try

 

Loud pipes beget louder audio which beget louder pipes...it's a never ending circle.
