Default 2003 dyna wide glide

Looking for help on getting my bike to sound louder and snap a little more. Any suggestions?

Short fat pipes

I actually really liked the way my carbed 88" sounded by just removing the factory mufflers and leaving the factory head pipes. Not the best LOOK, but sounded nice to me.

I'm a big fan of DK Customs thunder torque inserts. If you can pull the stock baffles out these are easy to install. They make great sound and are not expensive at all.

The V&H Short Shots on my '00 WG are a lot louder than stock. No complaints (other than a few neighbors), and look good on the bike too, IMHO.

Stock internals, carbed 88, open (no baffles) 2 1/4" drag pipes. Similar to short shots or freedom performance declaration
Can't recreate it on the stand but it cracks and pops pretty good under decal and overrun. Ear plugs are mandatory while riding unless you hate your hearing.

The first one is clipping the mic during revving. I turned the gain down for the second one so it sounds more representative.
