Yep ... ';cuz what it all boils down to is are you a good enough ( no slam intended ) rider to make it ride on the street like it runs on the dyno ...

I've been riding this Bike and the power is just incredible. Now the problem is. It's just too loud. I am wondering if there is an exhaust that would quiet it down without losing the power and maybe take out that torque dip. I have a set of new Woods 777 cams. I am wondering if they would be better than the S&S 585's. Hoping for some advice.

supertrapp supermeg is a good quite pipe, without tuning comparison it's hard to say if you will lose much. it will for sure be quite and can possibly help the dip I have seen where it does with someone willing to play with discs until they get it right. Call around and talk to some tuners and ask if they have experience tuning the supermeg. Joe is doing my tune and prefers the super meg or the E-pipe for the tuneability

Thanks John, I'll take your advice before I go deaf.

IMHO the owner should just pick up the bike and go for a test ride. If he is happy forget all the BS and go enjoy the bike, if he has an issue he should pull right back into the shop and talk with the shop right then and there.
OK, I stand corrected but still don't believe the numbers.

I agree just saw a SF dyno run on a s&s 111 that was over 130 hp all stock as sent. They are 120 when tuned right with a good pipe most run around 115.

though the numbers aren’t as important as a good tune and a fun bike. Until it’s my bike

The Eseries is a stepped pipe. I like it better than the supertrapp.
