Decibel Ratings?
Can someone point me in the direction where I might be able to find decibel ratings?
Looking for what db Monster Ovals are putting out with various head pipes
Thanks

I agree with hitting up Vance and Hines directly. They also have monster rounds out now. They sound the same but give you more ground clearance and are a little lighter. I switched over to them from the ovals.
Both cans will be pretty quiet when new. After you get a couple thousand miles on them they you burn out a little bit of the packing and they get a little louder. Right out of the box they are pretty tame which is what I wanted on my bike. They both are very deep boomy bass sounding.

I sent an email to Vance and Hines and to my surprise I got an almost immediate answer!
This is what they said:
That is exactly correct, Monster Ovals and Monster Rounds have the same internal baffle design which sound exactly the same and perform the same. DB rating is 90-92 DB. They have a very deep and throaty sound, however they are not piercing to the ear.
I asked about db rating with Power or Dresser Duals. These are the numbers I was looking for to stay below 95 db in case I do some riding in Maine
Hope this info helps anyone else who may have been wondering

I just installed the Klock Werks Super Saver's on my 09Ultra with dresser duals and the sound is great. Pulled V&H ovals because they were too loud for my taste with the true duals. Best thing is you can get a set for around 3 bills on ebay. They are a 4 inch with rolled ends and you can get them long or short with choice of 3 ends. Not a real loud pipe at cruse but have a deep agressive sound on throttle up. You can go to their web site for a sound bite, they're a sponsor.
