Default CFR exhaust and audio

Greetings gang,

My question is, if I install CFR mufflers and a Vance and Hines header, will the combination kill the great sound of my full Biketronics sound system?

I know the CFR's are loud, the headers are for performance but will all of that "noise" force me to be even more annoying by playing my stereo at an even louder level?

If so, I'm not going to do the exhaust. I took the long, expensive route with audio, I don't want to repeat that again with exhaust.

Thanks!

It's pretty loud.. I had the knock off with cobra duals.. You can definitely hear it more.. I wouldn't say it would make you regret installing them, I just have kappas and a pbr and it bugged me.. I'm sure you could drown it out with ur set up

No. I have that exact same set up. Vance & Hines Headers and CFR exhaust. Your music with the Biketronics system will drown the exhaust out. When I turn my music up I can't hear my exhaust system!
