02VROD - You are correct. Compared to the Rinehart's I was running, this exhaust is mellow

V-Rods have their own distinct sound and with the turbo it kinda sounds like a Porsch on steroids

The way the pipe is directed the sound changes when your in corners. Turning to the left it gets louder but, it is less db then the Rinehart's. Folks would complain riding along side me or if I passed them with the Rinehart's, it hurt their ears. This system should be a little more kinder to those riding with me

I can tell you, in first and second gear you cannot shift fast enough. The motor hits the rev limit so quickley that I can't get the shift quick enough. I figured that was going to happen so I opted for the electric shift kit.
