+1, I do it because it's fun and makes me feel alive! I have Superflows, but I'm sure I enjoy them the same as you do your BUBs.

As far as Reinharts are concerned, I think your get more sound out of them. The Bub 7s are definitely quieter than Reinharts. I was looking for a deep Harley exhaust sound without offending the neighbors and still wanted to hear the radio while cruising. The Bubs did the job. Both are made by the same company.

Amazing isn't it. People who don't ride just don't know
