I love the sound of mine. Nice rumble and bark when the throttle is rolled.

Nice. I have a brand new set of those sitting in a box at home. Just waiting for spring when I can install them.

Just put a set of Cobra slipons on my Road King. Love the sound! Nice rumble without being too obnoxious for long rides.

Just took my Cobra slip ons off my Breakout and put on Bassani. They sound good and I got a lot of complements, but I wanted something with a little more bark.

I hear you, but it would drive me nuts not being able to ride immediately after installing them.

I have them on my bike. The regular baffles sound awesome at idle, but would get pretty loud fast when cracked open. I put the quiet baffles in which still sound ok, and still get pretty loud, but not quite as much. I'm thinking of trying the original with some thunder torque inserts next.
