Default Another "pipes" question...

I know that pipe likes and dislikes are purely subjective, but I've got Samson Rolled Thunder pipes on my 2005 Ultra that, honestly, are too intrusive at highway speeds for prolonged distances and time. So my question is this:

How do the following compare to these -- or, in the alternative, S/E Performance Touring pipes?

Wild Pigs
Bobvic's pipes on Ebay

thanks.....

What does intrusive mean?

I thought you said a while back the Samsons were too quiet.

"—Synonyms 1. annoying, bothersome, interfering, distracting,irritating, disturbing."[/align][/align]No, I don't think I was complaining that the Samsons were too quiet... Maybe I inquired about a lower, fuller sound -- but not louder. (If that is the case, it just goes to show that long rides with these pipes are affecting my head -- and hearing!)....[/align][/align]I'm thinking of those modified pipes on ebay from the guy in Tennessee... Any thoughts on that?[/align]
