Stupid stock exhaust

Since I got my ultra with stock pipes, I have learned to enjoy the quieter pipes. Honestly, the Harley stock pipes have a nice throaty (but not too loud) sound compared to stock pipes on all the Jap bikes I have owned. I always put pipes on them because the stockers sounded like a sewing machine.

The best advice I can tell you is, wait until you run into someone who has the sound your looking for than buy them. Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr,, you'll be like me I have installed 3 different sets, some were to loud, others to tinney, and they just didnt sound right to me. So I took the advice of a member here and waited, I ran into a bagger at a meet, with the sound I was after, he was running Cycle Shacks with stainless steel packing, so now my journey is over and I just love-em. A very deep throaty sound, and half the money I paid for others,,,, I could have saved a lot of money, if I would have just slowed down.. GOOD Luck TIm

I am no expert. I've only had one Harley and it had drag pipes. Great....loved em.....loud as hell. That said, I'm 40 now, and my friend has a Heritage with Thunderheader 2 into 1 that sounds great
