I told my dealer that I liked the look of the Vance and Hines Big Radius pipes for my 2007 Super Glide. He told me that they are really loud even with baffles. I want a louder pipe than stock but not ear splitting. My wife and I do a lot of 2 up riding and she doesn't like it too loud either. Does anyone know if these pipes are really loud or do they sound good? Looking for a louder pipe with low rumble at a stop. Thanks.
i have them on my wideglide and yes they are loud, set off alarms and **** of anyone beside me or behind me or 5 miles from me, woulden`t trade `em for anything
I like mine, loudness is relevant, it's different for everybody. I will say after 100 miles and up, you get alittle weary hearing them (at least I do). It sounds SO good chugging around town .......
Cool thanks for the feedback. If they don't make quiet baffles for them yet I hope they start making them soon. I don't want quiet pipes I just don't want to have hearing problems when I get older from my 100+ mile rides. I'm 26 and an artilleryman and I'm already losing some hearing from field artillery. Thanks.

Southpaw Super Glide: A Left-Hand-Drive 1979 Harley FXE Built to Fit the Rider
I saw a guy on what looked to be a Heritage of Fatboy with Big Radius stopped at a light and just for shitz, I rolled my window down just to hear since I haven't heard them. I thought they sounded sweet, kind of a deep crackle, but not obnoxious.
Dude, they are not loud. They are not deep either. I keep going back and fourth on weather or not I like em. In a parking garage they do set of alarms but on the normal road they are not to bad. I was even thinking of taking the baffles out. I love the look but am wondering if I should have went with the Rheinhardts.
