I will bet your pipes sound really good to behind riders and people you pass on the roadside.
dito, get someone to ride it for you or setup camera in movie mode like on youtube and record what it sounds like driving by

I would like to do that but the problem is Im new to the area and dont know anyone who rides . Im going by what my wife says when shes been behind me in her car and she says they sound good but she thought the stock ones did too so who knows. She did say she could here me coming up behind her about 12 car lenghts away with the top down at high way speed.

I've got Samson True Duals and they're hard for me to judge the sound, since they exit far enough behind me. I just posted a vid of my friend riding my bike, so it gave me a chance to hear what others do. And I ended up being pleased.
