For abnoxiously loud (thats how i like it 
go for the SS. The BR 2 into 2 are much louder than stock but not as loud as the SS. The BR 2 into 1 are louder than stock yet not as loud as BR 2 into 2. So on a scale of louder to lame:
SS - Excessively loud
BR 2 into 2 - Very Loud
BR 2 into 1 - Loud
Stock - Lame
Cheers

I ended up going with the Big Radius 2 into 2. Got a pretty decent deal at my local shop. Should be getting them installed this week. Can't wait!
I emailed V&H to try to get some specs. Here's what they sent me:
Short Shot Staggerds on a Sportster run 100-102 db.
On a Dyna -
Big Radius 104-107 db
Big Shot Staggerd 105 db
Short Shot Staggerd 100-102 db
So it looks like the BR's should be pretty similar to what I had on my Nightster, maybe a little louder. Figured I'd share the info.

This may seem odd, but I realy like the look of the stock tommmy guns, at least as far as wrapping around the front side... is there a new pipe with the sound we want that has this shape to it??? I don't mean the slip ons, I have heard that they dont have the sound...
I guess I want the staggered short shots but with the wrap and cut outs in the shields.
Seen anythiing like that out there????
Also a friend is trying to talk me into useing a extended length hole saw to cut out a 3/4 inch hole from inside the baffels like he did to his Road King, his sounds great and never had an issue.

When I purchased my 07 FXD it had the 2 - 2 Big Radius.
The most obnoxiously loud pipes I have ever had. Thankfully, they also produce NO power..making it easy to get rid of them
I tried 2-1 D&D fatCats w quiet baffle, still too loud..then SuperTrapp, which is fine.
The Big Radius do "look cool" however
