Its one of those threads, what is loud for one is not loud enough for another.
Your right until you can ride for ten hours you never know how your pipes
effect the ride. Just on this site alone I read where one guy swears by the V&H
ovals and three weeks later has them up for sell. I hope you trully find the right
pipe, Will keep an eye on ya see if the perfect pipe is out there.
Thanks,

Saint

I tried 4 different setups on my '07 Heritage so I have an idea what I need. I'll keep you posted on these.

I bought Wild Pigs slip-ons off of Ebay, good deal for the price. They aren't too loud at all, actually I've considered changing them since I like a loud exhaust. They have a nice sound on the highway.

Jim, I have finally found out what I have doing wrong LOL.
When I answer a thread I just go to the bottom an answer,
I now know I have been answering the one above and not
the one that started the thread. I will be more careful in the
future.
Thanks,

Saint

I had a set of Vance and Hines Ovals installed at the 1`k service and love the rumble and sound they make. . They are throaty but not loud and I can still hear the tunes when cruising. I even like the little bit of decel pop that they generate on occasion. . Its my bike singing to me.

I have the SE Touring mufflers and they have a throatier sound than stock without being too loud. I'm very pleased with the sound and performance with these slip ons along with my SE air filter and SERT. Cruising at higher speeds sound like stock........when you get on it, sounds louder than stock.

Good luck with the muffler search

I have the 06 Screamn' Eagle Performance (2 piece)Touring Pipes which were made for Harley by Supertrapp and now sold by them as the Supertrapp Touring SE's; I am experiencing the same problem as you are with these pipes.
A list of quieter pipes recommended by others that I have not heard are: Rush with the 1.50" baffle; Supertrapp 2 into 1 pipe with adjustable disks, S & S, SPO (stainless steel )ovals & the 07 Screamn' Eagle Street Performance Pipes ( I hear the slash downs are louder than the other styles).
