Go to your local dealer when it gets warmer on a Saturday or Sunday, listen for the sound you want, and then when you find it, ask the guy riding the bike what he has. Best method I've found.

There's a thread here somewhere with dB level comparisons for the different Jackpot Dyno Tuned baffles, stock mufflers, and maybe Rineharts if I remember correctly. It was started by Jamie at Fuel Moto so it should be fairly easy to find.

I have the Jackpot Dyno Tuned with the tunable quiet baffle and they are just right for me. A low rumble without ear shattering sound.

I'm sorry, do you mean LOUD? I'm not familiar with the term load exhaust... seriously, I'm not trying to be a jerk. Is there a term "load exhaust"? If so, could you please enlighten me? Thanks. BTW, i thought the OP was interested in a deep sound. Wouldn't the SuperTrapp be considered a deep sound? Ride safe.

Thanks for the coment on the bike.

None taken on the spelling of loud (load) brain fart. I blame on the 4 screamin grand kids running thru the house.

Plus I rely too much on spell check

Yes, The ST does have a deep sound. But still not as deep and loud as the TH.

I will say, on a stock bike, the TH sounds realy good.

You should also consider Rush slip-ons. The web site is www.epiflex.com. Great quality good value and different baffle sizes. You can listen to sound bites on their web site.

For SURE go to your dealer or bike meet and just listen for "that sound".
