Buy them!
I think you described them pretty well. Being an admitted exhaustaholic I've tried too many different slipons to count not to mention 3 different 2-1's. I was starting to get tired of the noise and wanted to tone it done without killing the performance.

Most recently I replaced my 4" Rineharts with these. They are not quiet, but with the V&H Powerduals on a 10.5 comp motor I find the sound level very acceptable especially at cruise speeds. To me these are the best combo of sound and performance.

I do have a burr on the top edge of the left one and am seeing about getting it replaced. It just looks like the guy doing the final finishing missed it. It's not really noticable.....except to me of course. It's not something I intend to make a issue about as It's my fault for not yanking it right back off and sending it back immediately.

Are the 4" Jackpots deeper or louder than the 3.5" Jackpots, or is it just a cosmetic thing?

I'm going to be installing Jackpots on my stock 2011 SG and need to know which size will sound better.

I've not heard the 3.5" Jackpots, but according to Jamie the baffling is identical. The only difference is the size of the muffler body.

I have the 3.5" and love them but to be honest I like the look of 4" slipons better and would have gotten those except they didn't have the quiet baffle available a few months ago for them.

Looks like now they have quiet baffle for both sizes so that's irritating =)

I don't even use the quiet baffle anyway because I like the sound without it but I like having the option.

There are great. I dont think there is a better looking set of mufflers. Sound is perfect for me too.

Are all of you guys running the stock head pipes with cats (I am)?

I want the deeper, more harley-like sound at idle and cruise speeds, but I definitely do not want loud.

Thanks.

4" jackpots are next on my list. Are the billet end caps available for them?

I would like to know the difference in sound between the 2.
