Default Anyone familiar with these pipes?

Hi
I have a stock 09 xl1200 that I have been driving for three summers. I love the bike and would like to change pipes. I am not concerned about increasing the performance, just making it a bit louder. I dont want to rattle windows or anything, just a bit of a "throaty" sound. A local guy is selling these pipes for $200. Anyone here have any experience with these?
Thanks in advance

They almost look like OEM pipes (same as your bike) so there would be "0" gain in anything (stock)...
