Hi! I just sold my Road King and bought a Sportster. I know, I know....Anyway, I want a deeper sound, these pipes have a higher pitch that sounds like a dirt bike to my ears. I rode that Road King for 11 years with nice Vance and Hines slip ons. What pipes will give me a deeper sound? This is a 2005, carbureted, 5 speed, 883 bored to a 1200.

Thanks!

 

You looking for complete exhaust swap, or slip-on's? What's your budget?

Revzilla also has their own comparison video.

I put V&H Straightshots slip-ones on my Sporty 48, and I loved them. Not too low, not too high, and loud as Hell.

 

When I was looking for different pipes, I watched a lot of videos and even some manufacturers videos. While they're good for some, I found them useless when it came to hearing the real thing in person. I went to a few shops and listened to some that weren't stock and even listened to some that rode up. I found out thes ones I wanted in the beginning were way too loud.

Just my opinion.

 

Your local HD shop on a Saturday or bike night are your best places to listen in person and ask questions - most guys are always happy to tell you what they are running

 

What sounds good to one another won't like. So I agree listening to others at shows or dealers. I put Samson hellraisers on my sportster and I think they have a nice deep sound. Not over loud but just right for me

 

I used to have a 91 Sportster and I put the original Screaming Eagle slip ins on it and they sounded great. They don't make them anymore but you might find some on eBay. The slip ones they made later weren't the same.

 

This should be the standard answer for this question. don't be in a hurry. I run Cycle Shack drags with lollipops in them. Deep throaty sound . Loud

 

Have these Twisted sister pipes on sporty nice sound under acceleration and have that pro stock sound when getting in it hard reminds me of my drag cars.

 

Throw a nice 2 into 1 on there. I've got the V&H on mine and I love it. Deep but not over the top loud......looks good....butt dyno says it makes more power too haha
