Default Anyone running Python slip-ons?
I just ordered a set and was wondering what people who have them think about them.... any opinions are welcome. I have had the Cycle Shacks, the Vance &amp\\; Hines, and the Rush slip-ons on other bikes and just wanted to try something different. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

I have Python 3 slip ons. They have a real nice sound quality and added a bit of performance to the bike. They are loud, but not overly loud. I've ridden right by police and never had a problem.

Loud isn't really a concern of mine.... I don't think they can be much louder than the Vance &amp\\; Hines I had on my last bike. It's good to hear that those of you who have them are pleased with the sound.... Thanks everyone!

I just put mine on and they are ok.&nbsp\\; I thought they would be louder because everyone suggested them.&nbsp\\; I guess I was hoping for too much.
