The Pro-Pipe is not as loud or obnoxious as a lot of pipes available, but mine still makes car alarms go off.

Mine were really deep. One of the best sounding exhaust I have heard IMO. Not loud, but perfect!

If I wanted lod pipes I would just keep the big radius pipes. I am getting away from the loyd as possible idea. I am going with performance. As soon as I leave for deployment in Aug the bike is going in for motor upgardes as well. What ever volume they are is fine that doesnt matter.

To those of you who are running the Pro pipe, what baffle are you using ? I'm also debating which 2 int 1 I'm buying. And I want to buy soon !!!!

I run one on my lowrider which has been lowered. I've yet to scrape it but I have scrapped my pegs. I love it. Cheers.

Installed the other day. Will post pics later. So far I like it. The bike runs a lot better and smoother with the pipes. Plus the look good which was a big concern with the switch to 2 into 1. Also the are not super loud when at idle but when moving they have a nice deep sound. The only thing so far I dont like is I still trying to find a setting for my fuelpak. I have on 06 so Vance and Hines doesnt have a setting for the BP's and an 06.

I have the bp and just installed a competition baffle. Had to cut the stock baffle off the pipe and weld the new one on. Also had to drill some holes in the mounting flange of the new baffle to match the holes on the chrome cap. Man I thought it was sweet before but now its sick. You can be quite or you can roll on it and be loud. Way better torque also.

You didnt happen to take pictures of this did you. The volume of the standard is fine but the added torque would be what I am interested in.
