the best sounding HD i ever heard was my old '02 FLHRSEI it sounded perfect to me. it sounded like the '60's FLH with the buddy seat a friend of my dad's took me for a ride on when i was a kid. pure Harley.
for a stock bike my '09 FLHTC is louder than i expected not so much at idle but when you crack the throttle i'm surprised it meets the noise standards. my friend's wife has a stock '03 RK that is much quieter than my bike.
stay stock stay happy.

Just ordered a set of Monster Ovals for my Ultra, that I don't even get to pick up until tomorrow or Saturday. This has been a long week...

Running SE slip ons, on 2004 FLHRI, had them on for about two weeks, going to go back to stock this weekend. Too loud for longer rides. My son thinks i'm nuts.

Just installed modified stockers from Ted Kepple. Very happy with the sound. Low, deep, quite a bit louder than stock, but still reasonable when cruising. On the freeway, the wind still drowns out the pipes by a fair margin unless you crack open the throttle.

I like the stock slash-up look on the RKC, and it's nice having an EPA stamp (even if mostly meaningless).

I like the Monster Ovals - thats the ticket if you want a deep rumble.
