Default Which pipes and why?

Which pipes to order that aren't too loud but still rumble louder than stock and price? Thanks.

your question pretty much narrows it down to everything . lol

my suggestion is to find a place where a lot of bikes go all day long and hang out for a while like a dealership or biker bar when you hear a bike that sounds the way you like go ask the rider what he's running. haven't met a biker yet that wouldn't talk about his bike at length

I use Rineharts true duals. They seem fine to me. I like the classic Harley sound. If need be, you can get a "quiet" baffle to bring it down even more.

Got SE2s on my Night Train, and I LOVE them! They are rumbly, but not too loud until you really get on the gas. They have the "Harley exhaust note" down.

Cheers!
