I took a good ride at 60 mph with the oem's and no ear plugs and didn't experience the dreaded ringing afterwards.
I see the oems are rated at like 80 db.
I'm looking for a slip on with a little deeper rumble thats just a bit louder. I heard a couple clips of some muffs, rineharts, v&h's, Ness's.....all too loud.
But the Two Brothers Comp S's and the Crusher Tridents seemed a bit louder and deeper without the roar the louder muffs exhibited.

Anyone have any good advice? Not interested jn the 'loud pipes' debate.....

It sucks.

Have you considered SuperTrapp slip-ons? I went to a full system for the same noise issues, and the difference was night and day. Much quieter than Bassani.

Most clips are at idle with the occasional rev up, but its just not the same. Getting firsthand opinions is really important because you all are the ones hearing things running down the road.

With that being said, when cruising down the road at 40, 60, 75, I can BARELY hear the exhaust and if I have the stereo up, I can't hear the exhaust at all, nor is there any drone. You need to hear the exhaust in person, because most videos only give an idea of sound from behind the slip ons which is totally different due to the doppler effect. Good luck!
