I must be getting old, cuz that Black Hole is a tad too loud for me. I heard the Supertrapp is a good pipe, but I'm worried my bike will sound like a sewing machine. How is the sound of that Supertrapp? Pretty close to stock?
Getting a bit off track, but I want something deep, but not crazy loud. Maybe the D&D Fat Cat with a quiet baffle?

It's louder than stock and when you roll on the throttle the level picks up quite considerably. Very similar to a Bassani RR1 but a little louder at the top... If I can get a chance I'll try to post a sound clip this week.... My step son is getting married so I'll be a little busy....
