A friend has Monster Ovals on his CVO. VERY LOUD. I can hear him two blocks away. They came with the bike, so I don't know if they were altered somehow.

Theyre not because the ovals are straight thru, and MO's have a capped outlet and the exhaust is forced around the sides thru all the little holes in the baffle

Cams will always make your bike sound differnet because they change the air flow.
