Sorry, i don't have a sound clip. The clips i have heard don't come close to the real thing. I just installed a PC V & AC from fuel moto and Dresser duals with monster ovals on my 08 RK. They can best be descibed as "Rich, and Thick, and Chocolaty." I love 'em and yes they are louder than the advertised 3db louder than stock, but in a good way.

I agree with Max, you really need to hear them live to get the full effect.

Love the MO's. Look great, sound great and have the quality chrome work I've come to expect from V & H over the years.

I do agree that a video sound clip is no help at all in making this decision. Have to hear and FEEL them live. No doubt in my mind that they are the deepest tone available, plenty louder than stock and not LEO magnets.

Clint55, did you have any struggles flipping your end caps? I just spent an hour trying to turn my chrome ends. The baffle tube was hitting on the edge of the end cap hole it sticks through and I couldn't solve it. Sorry to all for the hijack.

I have MO's on my '08 Road Glide and they sound deep, deep, deep. I had my bike in the shop the other day for a new rear tire and went out into lobby to wait for my ride. When the tech cranked my bike, the deep bass went right through the walls and about a dozen people headed to the shop to see what was making that wonderful sound. You feel them as much as hear them, and a YouTube video won't even come close to providing an accurate recording.

I have them on my 2005 RKC with true duals.

Not sure what you can get from this clip, so crack up the volume

I finally heard a bike with MO's and they really do have a unique, very deep sound. I was amazed at how quiet they are at idle, not much more than stock. But when the guy pulled away they changed into a deep, loud rumble. I ended up with the Dyno Tuned Jackpots w/2" baffles and love the sound but if I was starting over and had an extra $700 in my pocket I would go MO's.
