Default Not trying to be a PIA but...

Long story short.

It is not just me but everyone at work also says that my bike sounds 1/2 as loud and deep as it did. The only mods since the V&H 2 into 2 big radius were a Fuel moto ac and a power commander -5. Nothing wrong with there products and the bike runs GREAT but I miss the sound ( loud and deep) I do know a richer engine will sound different but my girl friends Honda shadow 750 with pipes is really louder now. Please under stand I am NOT putting Fuel Moto products down and have recommend them to everyone I know and still will but I really want to know if there is something I can do to make the Harley sound again like it did before. There is only 500 miles on the pipes to date so carbon build up is not it.
I did have these pipes on my 2006 Deuce and I know they sounded louder and deeper and the only thing done was a HD program back then.

Is there something I am missing here????
Do I need to do a remap/change or anything like that. I looked at the Dyno Jet site and there is NOT a map for the pipes and Big Sucker AC ( same as the fuel moto).Or I missed it but am sure Fuel Moto has done maps for this set up.
I do want to add this.... Since the upgrades the bike idles fast when coming to a stop with the clutch pulled in until full stop then it goes into a normal idle after the bike is done rolling and at dead stop. I checked the clutch cable and even went to a HD and they also said the cable is right on so I am stumped on this.

Really, any help would be great
Thanks

when a bike is tuned and running properly it will sound much quieter. i can change baffles on my bike and they will be loud until my auto tune adjust for them.

What is the auto tune? Is it part of the pc-5? I am just trying to figure this out.
So If I put big city baffles in they will also change after a bit?

Auto tune is an option on the pcv. Most likely you dont have it unless you specifically ordered it. So you should be able to put the BCT baffles in to change the sound.
