Im running the Dnt slipons and there pretty open design they sound amazing not loud just deep . I was thinking about adding a fuel moto head pipe but was thinkinh will it drown out my radio...anyone running loud pipes can u still here the radio? How much volume will the head pipe add?

 

Sounds like a perfect reason for an audio upgrade. It's been so long since I've had stock audio but I'm sure there are exhaust combos that would over power the radio . if u have a cat in ur head pipe now you can expect a noticeable sound difference. If your cat less than ur probably safe

 

I run true duals and have stock radio I can hear just fine.

 

I'm running a set of Samson Hell Raisers 2-2 pipes. I've modified the baffle a but and they are loud. At highway speed the note is a low growl but nothing that I find aggravating. If you're behind me perhaps you'd have a different opinion. I don't find the pipes interfere with any tunes I'm playing anymore than the wind does swirling around in my ears.

 

I agree with E8USMCRET, I think wind noise has a lot more to do with hearing a stock sound system than how loud your pipes are.


When I recently got my 13 it had stock everything. Changed out pipes and it didn't make any difference in my radio volume. On my 09 Ultra I had loud pipes and tried a short windshield. I had constant issues hearing my tunes at highway speeds.

 

Unless your exhaust is just ungodly loud, I doubt you will have any problems out of the pipe noise. Wind noise will be an issue though I would bet just as others have stated.

 

drowning out the radio by exhaust is a myth.
I'm running V&H Power Duals with CFR mufflers.
I can hear my music fine.

 

I'm running the jackpot 2-1-2 with the 4 inch jackpot slip ons no issues beside the wind buffering the sound out as stated on earlier posts. Great sounding header pipe imo.

 

I've been told by V&N that true dual headers are generally louder than 2-1-2 headers like the jackpot. The Jackpot should have a deeper sound than any of the true dual headers but they say the true dual headers are louder overall. Your audio should not suffer too much but you might notice a little difference. Audio upgrades are always good - not matter what.

 

Power Dauls and CFRs, I can hear my stock speakers just fine, In the city or the highway.
