I have the big radius 2in2 on both my bikes and they sound great. I have them on a 2003 Deuce and a custom chopper with an S&S 107 and both sound great. In my opinion they are not too loud, but not quiet either. The baffles are in both.

I don't think they sound tinny. Esp going from the ugly Doss Lightnings that came on my bike to the BR.

Son had them on his 07 Deuce. I always said they sounded like Headers on a car, where my Rush sounded like a car with Glass Pacs.

I soon leaned not to ride to his right or behind him . They made my ears ring in a short time. When he'd get on it and he was in front of me they actually HURT my ear drums..

still they are a great looking pipe and make really good numbers when tuned correctly.

Have them on my '12 Slim. Sound great, they are quite loud. Folks will definitely hear you coming and going.
