sounds like you need a new exhaust, then you won't be able to hear it. i suggest rush slip-ons with 2 or 2.25" baffles!

Well you are correct about the pipes, that is on the drawing board but the pipes won't hit the street until mid feb. Will also be installing the new SE air cleaner for 07 and the sert too. I will bring that up with the tech at the dealer

Well what the dealer did was put a wheel and tire setup from a softail that they had at the dealer to see if it would make a differance. no good same noise. It was a stock wheel swap for trouble shooting
