My Pro Pipe with a Competition Baffle was too loud for me...the barking in my ear got old real fast, I now run a standard baffle and its much better.

thunderheaders are only "loud" at full throttle. Strap on a set of cycle shack 1 3/4 drag pipes on a 95 inch motor and then talk to me about loud..

I'm running Paul Yaffe SuperTrapp X-Pipes on my scoot. They sound beautifully loud with a nice deep rumble on deceleration. The pipes actually sound pissed the fu€k off, I love em!!! Expensive drags but worth every penny!

I run S&S 3" open slip ons, modified with my BAVO dB killer. I decie what level of sound I wanna have that ride and adjust the dB killers to that level. 'Normal','Medium" or "very Loud". I can even adjust them when stopped during the ride and even with running engine. No problem with 'sound puritans' for me, I run daily in the 'normal' position, switch to 'medium' when I expect traffic jams or group rides with the Chapter. On Harley events I switch easey a few hunderd yards before entering the event to 'Very Loud'..After I left I switch back to 'normal' or 'medium'....
I have in one pair of slip ons THREE different levels of sound.....
