Default Jackpot Headpipe on M*

Has anybody gone to the Jackpot Headpipe on their M8? If so, did you get a noticeable increase in volume from your exhaust? I know the design of this motor means it is quieter, and I'm happy with the sound of my V&H HO 450's, but the bike is still pretty quiet compared to what my TC was. I love the bike, but wish it was a little (or maybe a lot) louder. I am also looking at the the Samson SVT Bonecrushers, which is a full system.
Sorry, I know, another exhaust post.

I called fuel moto and they said not to expect more than a couple of decibels over the stock head pipe. I like the looks of the new Fullsac pipe but the $699 price made me do a U-turn.

The Jackpot M8 2/1/2 head pipe is going to change the exhaust note noticeably, especially when using mufflers with a straight thru core design. There is more info and feedback from users including some video's in the following thread https://www.hdforums.com/forum/milwa...-header-2.html

In your opinion does it provide any better sound over a decatted stock pipe?

Yes i think so i gutted the converter to start with didn't like the sound of it that much.A lot depends on mufflers also i bought the Tab's.all that was out when i got my bike.8/16 i like there sound and i bought the Zombie inserts they are loud.So i left one zombie in the left muffler and put a regular that came in the muffler on the right.Both zombie's are to loud for me.
