Around here loud bikes are the norm and mine is loud for sure. I love the sound and most like it too-people always ask me what's done to the engine.

It’s my understanding that all Harleys are shipped with out the recognizable Harley sounding mufflers, because they have to meet EPA emission requirements prior to leaving the factory. If this is true or not I don’t know. I don’t understand how everyone puts after market pipes on and gets their bikes inspected then. Be that as mit may. Can anyone recommend a set of pipes to get that true Harley sound on my new Harley?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that “true Harley sound” ended years ago when HD replaced carburetors with EFI.
