Hitmans may be a tad deeper, Knockouts have a little more punch, equally happy with either. Was gonna go back with hitmans on the cvo but I needed a 4 inch slip on so I could keep the cvo muffler shields

Went back to the Bassani DNTs, seem to sound pretty damn good, nice and deep. In my first post on this thread, I said they were not that loud. The second set I picked up are definitely louder than the first, I think that may be due to the lack of packing.

I've currently got Neighbor Haters. They sound great, maybe a little raspy for my taste. They also drone at highway (maybe interstate) speeds so I'm looking to ditch them for something more mellow.

(If anyone is interested in a like new set of Neighbor Haters, let me know)

FuelMoto head pipe. Hi Roller slipons. Sounds good at idle and deep rumble when accelerating

Only had stock exhaust on my previous bike, but put a pair of CFR slip-ons when I bought my 19 RG. The dealership had a demo zone with the screaming eagles, Rinehart’s, V&H, S&S, and one other that I can’t remember at the moment. It came down to the V&H, or CFR’s for me. I was looking for that low deep rumble, and personally felt that the CFR’s sounded the best. I haven’t been disappointed, although others that I’ve spoke with have said that they can drone depending on what type of helmet you’re wearing; however, I haven’t really had any issues with my whole or half helmet.

I have the Supertrapp Unfiltered Header and the SE Street Cannons and I like the setup. With the Cat gone the heat is gone and the pipes sound sweet under load and not bad at all while cruising! Doesn't sound like my EVO, but the neighbors won't whine either as I head up the hill if I am judicious with the throttle!

stupid question, but those are the best kind!

i have some M8 CVO pipes for sale. guy on FB wants some LOUD pipes. if we just take the CVO baffle out & leave it out, how does an M8 sound (with and without the CAT?)

Change my mind.
I totally disagree about how quiet the M8 is as I am running a stock decatted head pipe with Vance and Hines twin slash mufflers with a stage III big bore kit and it sounds great I couldn't be any happier with this set up it seems to sound better and better every day it will definitely bark when I want it to.

“Friend of mine” has a FuelMoto E-Series 2:1. Not dyno’ed yet but had one on a 103 Road Glide S and it made the prettiest torque curve without being ear bleedingly loud. M8 version feels fantastic. Of course if your dealer pays attention to things other then your calibration ID it could jeopardize your warranty.
