Which are the loudest V&H pipes for my '06 super glide? Runnin shortshots staggered now but not the sound or roar I was looking for. Or maybe I should consider something other than V&H. I really like the look of their sideshots but I haven't heard them or know the performance you get out of them.

Yeah, I was pretty shocked (disappointed) at how "quiet" they are as well. Samson pipes seem pretty loud, but heard and seen some bad things surrounding them. Im looking into baffle options for the short shots currently. Big City Thunder is probably the best option as far as baffling goes to my knowledge, and that's limited...

what are you running for an AC?. Switching from stock to a heavy breather made all the difference for me

Change the baffles. Get Big City Thunders. They make a huge difference in sound...

Do you want it loud or deep? Different story
I have the short shot staggered with modified VH baffles + BCT baffles. Love the sound!
If you want to hear it.

I have straightshots on my 13 bob and really like the way they sound. Nice growl at idle, but nice and loud when u roll the throttle. I love them and have gotten multiple compliments on look and sound.

I have the V&H Pro-Pike HS on my Indian Chief. She's LOUD and sounds like she's pissed off.

I love it.
