So, you can call me whatever you want to, but want louder pipes on my '14 Iron. I figure I may not have to dodge as many retards if my bike was louder. Okay, yeah I feel like I'm on a hybrid bike when I ride with my friends because I can't even tell if my bike is on when they fire theirs up haha!

I decided the V&H Big Radius Black pipes are what I want, but they don't make them for the '14 Iron yet. V&H doesn't even have a release date. So, in the meantime I found a great deal on a set of SE slip-ons from an '08 Sporty. I know I may have to make my own mounting brackets, but can anyone think of another reason I may not be able to use these? They're selling for $60obo by the way.

 

For that price I can't see why not. The only thing I could think of is the pipe diameter might be different. Oh, and I can't blame you wanting the bike to make some more noise, the stock muffs really make the new bikes sound horrible. Just be responsible please!

 

I can't tell you if they'll work or not, but SE's are a little throatier but barely louder then the oem pipes.
So if you're looking for loud, even temporarily, SE's probably aren't the way to go.

 

I disagree.

While the SEs are not super loud they are actually quite a bit louder than the stock pipes. A lot of people like them because they are loud but not obnoxiously loud.

Check out this link for the actual db ratings of several slip ons and their claimed power gains:http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/413/13...-Shootout.aspx

Another option is the DK Customs thunder torque inserts.

 

They are without a doubt louder. I just installed them on my 07 and am very pleased. I wouldn't want louder as I ride in the city quite a bit and I don't need any police attention.

If they fit I think you will be happy if only for the meantime.

 

Why would we call you names? I do not know anybody that keeps their stock pipes.

 

Great info. Are the SE pipes still pretty tame sounding without the baffles installed?

 

I've seen a few posts of people ragging on members that want to change their pipes just to make them louder instead of doing it for performance gains.

 

Did you keep your baffles installed or did you ditch them?

 

No baffles is a great way to lose performance in your engine, and a heat magnet for cops.

If you want to run no baffles why not just remove the baffles on your stock pipes?
