Pipes
Hi! I just sold my Road King and bought a Sportster. I know, I know....Anyway, I want a deeper sound, these pipes have a higher pitch that sounds like a dirt bike to my ears. I rode that Road King for 11 years with nice Vance and Hines slip ons. What pipes will give me a deeper sound? This is a 2005, carbureted, 5 speed, 883 bored to a 1200.
Thanks!

Revzilla also has their own comparison video.
I put V&H Straightshots slip-ones on my Sporty 48, and I loved them. Not too low, not too high, and loud as Hell.

When I was looking for different pipes, I watched a lot of videos and even some manufacturers videos. While they're good for some, I found them useless when it came to hearing the real thing in person. I went to a few shops and listened to some that weren't stock and even listened to some that rode up. I found out thes ones I wanted in the beginning were way too loud.
Just my opinion.

What sounds good to one another won't like. So I agree listening to others at shows or dealers. I put Samson hellraisers on my sportster and I think they have a nice deep sound. Not over loud but just right for me

I used to have a 91 Sportster and I put the original Screaming Eagle slip ins on it and they sounded great. They don't make them anymore but you might find some on eBay. The slip ones they made later weren't the same.
