Default rip saws or pomonas sound difference

hi, i have a 04 sportster 1200 custom and am interested in getting either the big guns rip saw or pomona system. is there a big difference in the sound of the two? i want a deep rumble sound and was trying to decide if i would enjoy the sound of the pomonas better becuase it blow out the back as opposed to the rip saws. i really like the look of the rip saws, but don't know if they are that much louder to the rider or passenger being that they end at the passenger seat. Just wondering if there was a difference in throatyness of the two. Thanks in advance for your help!

I can't attest to the pomonas, but I had a set of rip saws on my '00 Deuce. Those were my favorite all time pipes. I would have them on my RK, but they wouldn't really look right, imo. They have a loud and deep sound that's just about perfect. The sound bounces off of the pavement so you can hear it. Just make sure that you like riding by yourself or in the back because no one will want to ride on your right side. They have a tendency to blow anything on the ground into the air, including small rocks and dust. They sound and look really cool though. Make sure to pony up for the torque cones.
