How long have you had them, they will get much louder with some miles. You can also take the baffle out and remove about 1/2 of the wrapping which will make it pretty loud.

I would wait, when I had those they got pretty damn loud after about 1000 miles.

+1 on wait. I have 2" rush. They have gotten seriously louder than new. I have about 4k miles on them, they are "very" loud! Maybe too loud, long trips and my ears ring for quite a while from them.

They will definately get louder if u remove the packing. I think mine has blown out, I'm gonna pull them and re-pack them eventually to silence her a bit if that's possible.

Personnaly, I would just ride her if I were you, they *will* get louder, but up to you. Good luck with that-ever you decide, either way, ride 'er hard and long.
