Yeh, you are going to have to deal with those cats, somebody said the Daughter was coming over after the shovel.

I've heard some V&H that are very loud. Definitely not anything I'd care to put on this bike. Then I've heard some that are just the right amount of volume. Nice low rumble, and then open up to a nice throaty growl when getting into the throttle. Sounds like the ones on your wife's bike are the latter with the baffles.

I've heard a lot of folks say that the street cannons really wake up after a break in but have yet to see any sound clips of it. Any of you cannon users that have improved sound care to post an updated vid?

RCX 4.5 slip ons here. Nice tight and low idle, just what I wanted. Has a little bark when I blip it and when cruising at 70+ there is no drone. I heard the street cannons on a few bikes. Some new, some "broken in". I just laughed.

And that shovel is a beautiful beast. If I wasn't in the Midwest I'd ride over just to listen to it.

But now I keep reading more and more favorable reviews, and the increase in volume after a short break-in period.

As far as looks, I personally prefer the 4" over the larger 4.5". Not really sure why cause the Street Cannons are most definitely eye catching!
I like the 4" cans better then the 4.5" as far as esthetics. The 4.5" look too big to me. The riders looking for something slightly louder and "plus performance" CVO take off cans can be found for around $200. That's what I ended up doing on my 2011 RK (decatted). Great flow mufflers and just a hint of tone and sound on accell. They get louder with miles. Good quality/looking muffler.
FYI, I assume the "cats" are still in the head pipe on the 2017's. If that is the case, if planning aftermarket header or decat, the mufflers will be 25% louder. Keep this in mind when buying slipons.

When I was shopping for slip-ons for my new RK I saw a lot of cali cert mufflers. I paid no attention to them because I live in a free state. A safe bet would be the street cannons for sure.

Enjoy your silver sled!

I had the Street Cannons on for about 1300 miles. They definitely wake up after a few hundred miles, and continued to do so, till I swapped them out recently.
