Im new to the forum and had bassani full exhaust fishtails installed as part of stage 1. The tuner used was SEPT. The sound is great and performance is a bit better....but I do have decel popping that seems to be getting a little worse by the day as the weathers warming. I expected some decel popping with no baffles. Don't know if this is coincidental or
if Im dealing with maybe a bike that needs a better tune.

Cobra neighbor haters pass the "in person" test. Nice deep rumble, but all day ridable. Nothing will get rid of the gear sound from the counter balancers (except maybe different gear teeth? - wonder if HD used straight cut instead of helical cut) But for actual exhaust sound, they are nice and meaty.

All these great looking exhaust pipes need sound clips to go along with them! Post up some sound clips here to help others decide which pipes/ mufflers they want to go with.

Same as poster below but I cut up some old dyna heat shields that work pretty well. Pic is of first pass - better now but no pics of version 2.
