So those of you that have them what are your opinion of them? Do you like them? Are they too loud, loud enough, too mellow?

I love 'em... I loosely wrapped the baffles with wood stove door gasket rope to make them less "crackly" (they are not very crackly outta the box, just wanted a diff sound).

I highly recommend them, great fit and finish... They are just the right amount of loud for me... they are on the louder end of the scale IMO

I have them, very happy. For me, they were definitely a nod toward style vs sound. I came off a Heritage with Big Shots staggered and those were *loud*, and I miss that sound.

I need to trade bikes with someone so I can hear what they sound like.

One small issue I've had is the rubber grommet on my right side muffler hanger kept popping out. Solution was to 1) reverse the direction they go in and 2) loop some wider zip ties through and top that off with some stiff wire, problem (rather permanently) solved.
