Holy crap. I can't imagine how loud they must be. The neighbors are going to form a lynch mob.

I had vance and hines long shots on my 04 sportster 1200 which were on the bike when I bought it. It seems whatever jets were installed for those are working just fine as of now. They sound great too.

I'm all for great looking pipes, but it's designs like these that are killing it for all of us. Pretty soon all bikes on the road will be required and ENFORCED to have EPA certified exhaust.

I live loud pipes on bikes. But I'm in the minority.
That said, I'm lovin my Rush 2:1 with the 2" baffles. Noticeable, but not at all obnoxious to my wife and neighbors.
My neighbors like to shoot from the hip .

I have 2" Black LAF's on my 2001 FXSTD, I put LA choppers 1 3/4" vortex/power cones in them to create back pressure. They produce a nasty drag bike type sound. I also have big cams and carb on my bike, did not require re jetting. They produce a lot of deceleration pop and through about a 8" blue flame at night when you decel or over rev. I would recommend the chrome though. The black has cooked off of mine and started to rust in 2 spots. They also make a optional heat shield.
