RE: Pipes too loud?????
Well I try and be very resonsible, but after reading all the epa crap I am paranoid. These pipes are pretty loud at idle. Everytime I came to a light today I felt as I everyone were staring. I was always looking around for the popo. Maybe I will look into the quiet baffles. I didnt realize these were some of the loudest pipes out there. Geez, I thouhgt they were middle of the road.

I was installing big radius today and one my 02 sensors was seized, so I have to replace it. They are loud, thats good, they can hear you coming. I have been riding with stock pipes for a couple of months now, so I know it will be a big change, but I'll get used to it. haha

RE: Pipes too loud?????
my kid's pipes are too loud. That crying sh*t goes right through me. OK...and my SEIIs are just right for me. I don't think I would want any louder. Some say that they're not enough and replace the baffles..that's cool. Others have complete exhausts that are a little/a lot louder. I've just come to appreciate the fact that I can hear the engine nicely...I hear it between shifts, and when I go under an overpass, it sounds really cool.

Earlier today I took out my Big City Thunder baffles out my SEIIs and put back the orignal baffles because I actually thought it was too loud and close to being obnoxious. I rode a couple miles and returned home and immediately put back the BCT baffles. Sorry guys, but the SEII baffles was so wimpy. I guess I got used to the roar of the BCTs.

My Bassanis are deep and throaty when I want them to be but I try to show restraint around old people, couples with babies, people walking dogs, and late at night coming home through neighborhoods with people trying to get a good nights sleep and the like. When driving through town try not to redline each gear drawing attention (

No Mcmurry, one of my 02 sensors would not screw out of the pipe. Maybe someone forgot to put antiseize on the threads. Anyhow its in a local shop, I'm picking it up this afternoon. I'll let you know how I like the Big Radius on my Bob.
