Default RE: Rode behind Samson Fish Tails on hwy for 10 miles

I have Samson drag fishtail pipes. No baffles, and I love the pipes. Much louder than anything else I have heard (not that means they are better. I know they are suppose to be ****, performance wise.). My bike has a carb, which might be why I think they sound so good. I do get a lot of comments on them. Haven't had a bad one yet. My favorite was when I was on a run with at least a hundred other bikes. When we stopped for fuel, one cat ran over to me to ask about them.He said that the sound reminded him of the old hot rod glass packs. I liked that. LOL

people behind me say there's a certain tone at some speeds that makes their ears hurt momentarily
Yup...that's the sound I'm shootin' for.
