RE: VH Big Radius
The big radius are one of the loudest pipes out there. I have them on my 07 Fatboy. I also took the baffles out to make em even louder. That being said, I think just about any after market pipe that makes a louder than stock sound, will irritate the neighbors if your not carefull. I have the EFI ingnition, so I am able to coast down my street a little ways before I fire her up and take off, so I can get away from the neighbors, carbed bikes are a different animal, so you may not be able. Bottom line...be courteous, and don't rev the motor. That is a sure way to **** em off. JMHO

I've got BR on my 07 WG. if you take it easy on the throttle they purr right along. They don't seem to be too loud. When you give the throttle a hard twist they will roar, I love mine. Great deep tone, sound great at idle and wide open. Also when you get them give em about 1000-1500 miles to break in mine have about 2000 on them and sound better each time I start the bike.

RE: VH Big Radius
They are sweet sounding pipes - you'll really like them....during the summer months I leave the house around 7AM...I am sure that my neighbors all know when I come and go. I just try to take it easy when I am on my street. When cruising - they purr real nice.
