I really like the ovals. They have a nice low end, sound great taking off and level out when your cruising.

Got the classics (not pictured below) recently with the V&H FuelPak and stage one kit. The sound is nice, so nice in fact the wife rides more often. She says the bike, "sounds more like a Harley". But all are right. Find a bike set up like you want and listen. When you hear the sound you want rush right in and buy the pipes you heard. You won't be sorry.

I have the ovals. They're great sounding and looking but it's a personal taste. Hang out at a HD dealer and see if you can hear both.

Have the Ovals on my '07 ULTRA & LOVE the sound and looks. Great roll on sound. The stock sound left me flat. the Ovals are hot!!!!

Hi guys I looked into this matter very thoroughly and it was the rush or the ovals and I got a chance to hear both by Hanging out at the dealer so I did it and I never looked back I also have a bud who has the slipons and he too likes them but they are just deeper in sound on the 96 inch motor.

Wow, there are lots of oval fans around here! I'm pulling towards them, also...Has anyonetaken the baffles out? My buddy said myEG sounds like a Spree stock [:@]. He thinks a Hog has to be loud, yet he's never ridden a bike in his life. I told him too loud = annoying on a longerride.

I have the ovals and like them. I ran into a guy at the HD shop last week who had true duals like myself with rineharts, and I thought that those sounded really good. A little more rumbly than my ovals but a little more tame at the same time. I think that the ovals are hard to beat in the looks department-
