Default Deep note exhaust?

I have listed to countless YOUTUBE vids and I get zero feel for exhaust that has a Deep note, I am not into Loud, I do not want loud, and I can tell you from my many many exhaust experiments on my corvettes, that I do not want a Drone especially, not a drone :-)

So, is there any exhaust brand that is known for having more of a deep note? I have a feeling that some will say, define deep... of which I can not, just not Loud :-)

Deep=low frequency (Baritone vs. Soprano or Falsetto)

Sorry, stock pipes here, not going to be of much help.

You can't really tell the sound of a bike by riding it. Get with some people you know that ride the same bike, stand back off the road and have them ride by. When you hear what you like just get the brand and type and put them on your bike. Top of the line full exhaust or slipons can be pricey.

Neighbor of mine has Cobra 4.5 slip one on his ‘16 Road Glude CVO. Nice deep rumble without being o/noxious.

Asvothers said, go to events, and listen what others have. Most riders are happy to let you hear.

If you go to Youtube there are a number of posted videos about the sounds of different pipes and slip-ons.




And revzilla did a good video too/

Vance and Hines twin slash rounds are a good sounding pipe. Deep and just loud enough.
