I know sound is subjective and don't want to battle that here. I am currently running FREEDOM PERFORMANCE RACING SLIP ONS and I like the sound. Not loud at idle but have a deep throaty growl when I twist the throttle.
Now the problem.....WIFE wants it LOUD!!!
So what would you consider the loudest exhaust slip on without sounding 'tinny', and without losing low end torque?

3" rush slipons with a 1.75" baffle have a great note but LOUD and if you want louder just change out the baffle for the 2"or 2.25" or just take the sucker out and have a straight pipe.
i have the 1.75" on but I'm backing it down a touch as their too loud for the wife. I'm thinking the 1.50" are going to be the sweet spot.
Reinhart definately brings out that rumble. My HD dealer stovks V&H, Cobra, SE and Reinhart and Reinhart and V&H are his biggest sellers..I have Reinharts on my Tri and my Sportster and IMHO theybare loud but not all that loud and have the Harley rumble

Probably the only time we have heard of a wife wanting a louder bike!
Oh no you obviously dont know my wife her fat boy had V&H short shots and her SG has V&H big radius. I hate both them loud bikes. She just smiles and goes. Rode to Clarksville Tennessee this past summer and I laughed my *** off every time we passed a car or underpass or construction barricades because all you heard was her bike bbbrrrrrraaaaaaa.
