V&H Straight Shots w/ baffles...notwindow-rattling loud but you can hear me comin' Real close to the sound of the V&H Radius...just a tad higher pitched. Since I haven't gotten a ticket (yet) in over 2 years for loud pipes in my '68 ElCo (355 C.I. w/ headers, dual 2 1/2" exhaustand glass-pacs...it rattles windows!) I seriously doubt I'll ever see one on my bike!

Python III slashcuts on my FXRS. Sounds great around town going through the gears. Too damn loud after several hundred miles of hard riding.

Loud and shiny. I have Samson drag pipes. Sounds good, but louder would be nice.

Rinehart slip ons

Like the noise when getting on it, like the quiet when cruising, like the lower sound.

Stock drag pipes on mine. Thinking 'bout dropping in a set of half baffles, just to take the edge off. I don't letting 'em rap, but, when I'm trying to get home in the middle of the night it'd be nice to just idle down the street without waking everyone up.

I like pipes with a good tone to them not obnoxious.

I have Samson Rolling Thunder on my 03 electra glide. They are loud. Just love setting off the car alarms when I cruise through a parking lot.
