Default need exhaust advise

I have an 03 electric glide. The only modifications are 510 ss cams and stage one intake. I put sampson slip ons to let it breathe. The only problem is its to loud for me and wife. The bike dynoed at 76 hp and 81 tq. If I put my stock pipes back on, which has been opened up, will the difference be noticeable enough to make any difference. Any advise based on personal experience will be greatly appreicated.

I doubt if you will even notice a difference.

If you don't want to give up your Samson's, you could put some home-made lollipop bafflers in front of the mufflers. They will take some of the noise away. They are nothing more than washers with the hole welded shut, then welded on a 1/4" bolt shank.
