Okay, in comparison to the BR 2-2 on a 95" Big Bore, and the BigShots Staggered Black's on a 96" Stage I (which are actually a 2-1-2 system, they have a crossover pipe like the stock exhaust had, so not a true 2-2 system).. the BR's are loud and raspy and sound a bit like metal rubbing on metal... it's a decent sound, but not to my personal taste.. the BSS's have a loud rumble.. they're loud, but not obnoxiously loud, even with the stock 13" baffles. Though if you want something rumbly without being loud, you can always get the quiet baffles..because they say "Quiet" doesn't mean they're silent..it just lowers the tone and such.

I'm actually selling my BSS's off my 2010 Lo, so if you feel you would want to turn away from a 2-1 system and go with a 2-2, send me an email sometime.. i'm in no rush to off them, but they're out there.

Sgt Jim,

Can you PM me a price you are looking for? I would probably have to get the quiet baffles. The pipes sound a little on the loud side in the video you have up, but I think with some quiet baffles they may work. Do you know if the quiet baffles produce a noticeable difference?
