And not obnoxiously loud (although that is a subjective matter).

I loved the sound of the 2 inch rush baffle on a nicely tuned Fat Bob. I received many a complement, many an admiring head turn, never a complaint. However they were measured at 112.5 dB at 2000 rpm by a local friendly traffic enforcer that happened to be working for a town that was strict about sound ordinance enforcement (Fed says 112 dB limit). Now running 1.5 baffles, it is just not the same L

BTW headturns may not be positive ones.....
