Default Python Slip Ons?

I have the opportunity to buy a set at a reasonable price but don't know anything about them. Are they quiet, loud, or damn obnoxius?

I know of some guys who had them and were not that pleased. They are not very loud in my opinion. They changed over to the Rush slip ons. But it is your bike, your decision. Get what you think is best for you.

Welcome to the forum!

What ones are you looking at. The bagger ones aren't that loud compared to other brands.I had a set of slip ons on my N_Train and they were loud as hell. The only reason I got rid of them is they didn't make the power down low in the rpm band that I was after with my build.Sounded sweet when you let it rip.Got several complaints from the folks I ride with that ended behind me about the loudness.Pic isfrom 05.
