Cool slip-ons

I'm looking at doing some slip-ons, just enough noise to make it sound good but not get me killed by the folks living next to me. I drive to work in the mornings and don't want to wake up everyone at 5:15am.
I have always done a 2-1 before on my other bikes but this is a bagger, I think it looks better with 2 out the back.



sorry for the post going up twice, the net is doing something?????

I gotta cast my vote for the V/H Monster Ovals. Deep sound and great quality. I've bought alot of pipes in my time and these are the best sounding by far that I've ever had.

I'll toss my .02 in.

Had Thunderheader slip-ons and while I like the sound, I set off car alarms just ideling through the neighborhood. They are on the loud side.

Went and put the Samson Silver Bullets back on and while I won't say I like the sound of them over the T-headers, I do enjoy a softer, mellower sound.

Guess I'm getting old.
