Vance Hines Big Radius 2 into 2 Not loud enough

Vance Hines Big Radius 2 into 2 Not loud or deep enough sound

I put this on my new 2020 Sport Glide with a Screaming Eagle air filter. They exhaust is tingy and not loud and deep like the sound I have on my 2014 Fat Boy. It is the same exhaust yet of course a different engine, but I just don't like the sound.

Ugg New Bike...don't like exhaust.
1. I called Harley who installed and was told, nothing was done explicated to mute the sound, and nothing they know can be done except removing baffles which is not going to happen as it is not good for the bike and a bit over kill.
Any suggestions Please. I am very disappointed.

2. Was also told sound will "change over time"....really? I don't want to wait.

IDEAS?

This ^^^ !
The cat is the biggest obstacle to getting the sound you want. Just be aware that when you remove the cat you will also void your warranty.

With the M8 you really gotta do research on pipes that sound good I researched for months before making my purchase and went with tab performance with zombie baffles, bike sounds killer

Unless the Federal legislature is different for motorcycles, they cannot void the warranty for a modification. But they can deny a warranty claim if the modification caused the defect.

Removing it will void the warranty on the part and likely the system itself. If it spins a bearing, that wasn't caused by the removal of the cat and would be covered.
