Default V & H Big Radius

Hey guys, First time poster. When I first seen the Big Radius I had to have them. Now that I have them, not sure if I care for the sound. Just wondering if it's just me or are there many of you running the Big Radius with the same thoughts. I was looking for a louder pipe. Got that, but the sound? I was running the Se II slip ons prior to these. (They are too quiet.) My Harley Dealer said they are really no differen't than the stock mufflers with the baffles drilled out. Thanks in advance for your input.

Helped a friend install a set on his 04 Dyna (95") this weekend and he likes 'em. They look great and the sound is nice. Trying to get a decent camera so we can post some pics.

If you want louder, remove the baffles, there are a few that are doing just that with those pipes. Changing the overall sound... probably not going to happen unless you try different type baffles.
