How loud do you want it, and what style of pipes do you like? What is your budget?

I just installed a set of Samson Big Gun 3 RipSaws tonight on my bike. I like the way they look. Have a while before I hear it though.

This is what I just installed.

The SE2 slip ons are a good bang for your buck as far as noise goes. Nice deep rumble, and not overly loud. I've seen a few on here change to something different on a Fatboy because of the over under pipes, and having passengers boots burning on the pipes.

How about a picture of those pipes on your bike? I'd like to see how they look, is yours on a fatboy, and have you done any work on the motor for the performance gains?
