Default Exhaust

What do You Guys look for when changing out Exhaust? Do you look for Sound, Loud or Quiet or do you look for Performance and Flow of Pipes? I am asking because I just swapped out My Stock Pipes with a New set of SE Street Legal Performance Pipes and they sound the same as the stock pipes but from what I read they Flow Good. They have a Low Rumble not Loud and I am Happy with them. The Bike Runs Great with them, I also added the Ness Big Sucker Stage II Intake.

Sound, performance and looks. If you're happy then that is what counts.

Everyone looks for something different. As long as YOU are pleased with YOUR bike, never worry about anyone elses opinion of it.

I just want enough "rumble" to let the deer know I'm coming and enough "bark" when I give it a twist to get the attention of the person on the cell phone not paying attention in the next lane.

My personal preference is to not **** off my neighbors...

The only way is www.bigcitythunder.com

If you have a touring Harley power is nice but it is all about the sound. BCT will be the only way to get a great sound with a fuel injected Harley. I wasted $2000 on Rineharts with the SERT. I spent $100 and now my ride is bada$$.

I look for Performance and Flow Myself, I know everyone looks for something different, Loud does not mean anything if they do not Flow Good Enough and have some Back Presure for Power. I am not into the Loud Pipes much anymore, I guess that is why they call them Geezer Glides because us Old Geezers Ride Them! I just wanted to ask.

I'm currently running V&H true duals with Wild Pigg slip-ons and they are load. Too load for me after the 98" build.I'm either going with Hooker Tune Flow slip-ons or 2 to1 with Thunderheaders.I know what they sound like with the hp that I have. Either one will give the proformence and sound that I'm looking for.
