Default Anyone with Python slipons?

Am considering these as I have heard that they are not too obnoxious but do provide a bit more rumble than stock mufflers. Anyone who has them .. would you care to comment on them?

Had them on my '03 EG. They looked and sounded great. Only got really loud when you throttled down on it.

+1 what "vickers1" said. They are the best of both worlds. They are perfect on a touring model as you can hear them when you want to and quite enough at hwy speeds for those long trips!!

I've got them on my SG with V&H true duals. As mentioned, they only get loud when you really get on it. But they sound nice and deep otherwise. I like em.

I have a friend that has them and they sound pretty good. I thought someone posted about the quality not too long ago though so you may want to do a search.

Have the true dual pipes with the Python Predators slip ons. Haven't got a bad thing to say about them. I also bought the quiter baffles, haven't installed them yet, but do have them just in case.

I decided to put mine back on so the wife would be happy, they have a nice bark to them and not to loud that you can't hear the stereo until you get into the throttle. I like them though without a tuner I thought they felt sluggish under exceleration.
