I love the sound of the built up EVO, with some compression....sounds mean to me. But the shovels sounds great stock....I haven't heard too many Pans, but that is my favorite looking engine...and as far as engines go, I trust my twin cam the most out of all them

2 1/4" short stacker straight pipes sound pretty good on my evo.
Have to say Shovels sound the best, you just know when one goes by
all sound good with the right pipes

Now don't be no Evo haters . That's not politically correct now is it ? Love my 87 fxstc with some pipes I made for it . Has a nice thump to it . Oh and a shovel with drags does sound bad ***

IMO, there's nothingthat sounds nicer than an idling shovelhead with drag pipes.
Agree with this, I had a '76 shovel with drags and it sounded like a BEAST. However, it sure was slow...

Yep... My '81 Shovel runs drag pipes, and it sure puts out the tone...

Not the fastest Harley, but that doesn't matter.

Even the cat loves to ride it. LoL

Evo's and TC's sound about the same to me. Nothing like a Pan ... then a Shovel.
