I am going to start this thread to see what other people think are the loudest pipes on the market. I went for a ride today with a guy on a road king he had some Sampson True Duals on his bike and they were LOUEST pipes I ever heard. He took lead and I could barley hear my own bike,LOL. I had to pass him just to get some sanity after about 2 hours.
I have some Samson's in route to me so I can get a better idea how they will sound on my '07 Softail Custom but my neighbor has Rhineharts on this Ultra Glide Classic and those sucker are loud....he resorted to wearing ear plugs with a full helmet because his ears were ringing long after he was done riding and I like you have to drop back to hear my own engine....I also heard some Rhinehart shorties on a Softail at the dealerthat sounded real loud with a sharp pop to 'em.....
My bassani pro streets are pretty dang loud, and thats just sitting in a parking spot, still havent ridden it yet to see how loud they are on the road!
Wife's 03 has V/H Straight Shots. It's stk except for the A/F. Makes my Thunderheader sound like a lawnmower.
Prob hurts performance (a little) low/mid range is soft. They have that nice crisp (almost Shovel) sound to em though. Nice look too.
I know. . . "THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS W/O PICTURES"
