I have a new 1200C and I definitely need louder mufflers. I have stock right now and I'll probably buy the new ones within the month.
Since I'm a new rider I would feel a lot safer having loud ones.
How can I tell how loud they are if I'm ordering them out of a catalouge?
Any suggestions?

 

YouTube.

 

YouTube and some companies have sound clips on their website.

 

I had RUSH slip on's on the 2008 1200C I had and they sounded good for slip on's. Not sure the baffle size as they were on the bike when I got it. DO NOT get the SE slip on's as you will not be happy. Cycle Shack I hear has some nice sounding slip on's, V&H Stright Shots are not bad as well. I am not a slip on fan so to me they are all a waste of cash, I like full pipes.

 

I put on Cycle Shack slip ons first. They sounded very nice. But i wanted the look of the V&H pipes.

 

This happens alot that is why I always say just get pipes to start and be done with it.

 

I love my vance and hines slip ons.

they sound the exact same as a friend with pipes

 

My Python 3's are great. Plenty of sound for my tastes.

 

I really like my V&H slip ons with quiet baffle. To me, they offer great bang for the buck.
