i have a python 2 into 1 and wouldn't trade it for the world. I am however going to be getting some 39 cholo's and depending on what riding i am going to be doing going back and forth between the two. I had short non baffled straights my last bike and it sounde wicked. If you want loud, short straight drag pipes are the way to go, imo.

Patriot Defender 2-1
Comes in Black or Crome
Sounds real nice and has a butterfly valve so you can adjust the sound how you like it.
Just loosen a set screw and adjust to what you want and lock it down. Takes less than a minute.
What I did was bought a choke cable from the local speed shop ( Autozone ones are too weak need a heavy duty one )
So now I can adjust it on the fly.
Every one around the house loves it at 5am in the morning.
Here is a few pictures to show you how I set it up.

How loud you want to be dj.I had a set of P-3's and they were the just about the loudest pipe I've ever had.A bud of mine runs them now and I don't like riding behind him because of the noise.

Depends on how consistently loud you want to be...
I run with V&H Bigshots because they've got a great throaty sound...they're loud but not obnoxious...unless I lay down the hammer...then they're loud enough to set off car alarms (which, for some reason, I find funny).

hey fellow riders i have alittle dilemma , i currently have a nice set of python 3 pipes on my softail , these things sound low and rumble nice but i like my bike loud and these baffles do not come out without cutting them out , so i went ahead and cut my factory pipes up and took out all the packing and baffles , but now with the tips being 3inch it sounds like elephant getting an enema lol.does anyone have any suggestions on some pipes that sound and look good ,, i love the look of the big radius , but not the pice tag again , anyone want to trade your pipes for my python 3 full pipes ?
dj,
Something you might try on your stock pipes to adjust the sound and get some more power...Thunder Torque Inserts
