I am going to go stage I.

As far as the loudest pipes out there. I obvioulsy do not want to sacrifice any performance for sound, but I do want loud pipes. I want them to sound good loud. Im thinking any good straight pipes without baffles will satisfy my ears. I like the ones that have both pipes kicking out to the side behind my right leg. Side shots maybe? Ive got to look around.

Definitely waiting for the break in.

Did some looking around...Im either going V&H big shots, or Hooker troublemakers. Anyone know anything about Hookers? Care to share.

Do you still have the OEM pipes or the ProPerformance SE Pipes? And, HOW MUCH Do YOU WANT TO SPend?

I still have the OEM pipes and I want to spend as little as possible while still doing it right the first time and getting satisfactory results.
