Default python slip on pipes?
I am looking at purchasing a pair of slip on pipesfrom the classified forum. Anyone have a set of Python slip ons attached to a Road King? How do they sound? I had Thunderheaders and they were way beyond loud for me. I am looking for a deep tone not a loud noise. Thanks

I had them, not to loud. But you can only be the judge of what sound is right for you.

I like the Vance and Hines slip ons. Theygive a deep sound, butdon`t aren`t super loud.
Also the baffles are removable, when they are outtheyreally roar!

I like mine a lot. Not too loud nor too quiet. And have had zero problems.

Greg- Shoot me a PM if you are thinking about selling your Thunderheaders. I currently have Python slip-ons on my RKC but would like to have a louder set available.
