Why didn't U say what pipes were on Ur 02..??? that U liked so well.

Also BR's which one do U have now....2-2- or 2-1's????

I wouldn't/don't see how a 103 vs a 96 vs a 88's would be totally diff in sound.

thinking the bigger bore U go would make a deeper bark. I do think that adding cams will make the pipes sound louder, I know my did.

Thanks for all of the responses. My 02 was fuel injected and I had Jim Nasse cheatin death pipes on it. Also had a power commander. Currently have V&H BR 2 into 2. I really didn't think that pipes would make a whole lot of difference. I took the baffles out of the BR and really noticed no difference in sound. They just sound tinney/raspy instead of deep and throaty. My other pipes when I rolled slowly down oldtown mainstreets people turned their heads now they don't even know I am coming. It really is not so much the loudness as it is the tone.

I have the samsom streetsweepers, not too bad, but I just ordered some twisted choppers coated/wrapped dual head pipes with torque cones, will dump right behind the motor.

This is my first Harley, so i don't really have anything to compare it to. Since you are pulling baffles out, and I'm looking to add them, it appears like we might be looking for a different kind of sound.
If you are experiencing a considerable amount of decel popping it may be due to headers not being seated correctly. You can mix up some dawn soap and a little water in a spray bottle and spray around the flanges. Do this when the engine is cold. Crank the bike and check for bubbles. If bubbles then you have a gasket or fitment issue.

Thanks !! The rack has been purchased and shipped. I think this would look great with my solo seat.
