Default Python Slip Ons?

I have the opportunity to buy a set at a low price but I don't know if they are quiet, loud or obnoxius. Can anyone help?

I have the slip- on's from Python. They sound great. Not too loud. a nice rumble and a full roar when you rool on the gas. If you can get them , get them. I'm happy with them.....Oh yeah they look good too.

Just an opinion from someone that had a set. They sound awful. They have too high pitched sound. Not bad when idling, sound crappy and raspy when twisted up. I still have the set I bought, but I reworked them with samson baffles and they are insanely loud now, but much deeper toned. I replaced them with Rineharts, planning to put them on ebay someday soon.

I have a pair on my bike. They really aren't loud at all. I had Vance and Hines Big shots before. These Pythons are about half of what those were.

I do think they're fine. I definitely think they're OK considering they were half the price of most sets.

I love mine, started out with those worthless sreamin eagle slip ons. I've heard sewing machines that are louder. I dig the PYTHONS they sound like a HARLEY SHOULD sound. You here me coming up the street but I won't break any windows.
