Default B & E Performance: Max Performance Mufflers?

Is the any love for the B & E Performance "Max Performance" Mufflers? The B & E Max Performance Max 2's look interesting.

Your insights are appreciated.

Thanks!

I have the max2 on my 2010 Road King. Performance wise, I have no complaints at all. I wish they were a little louder but, they're better then stock. I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with them yet.

Do they have that deep, Harley blat! sound? Do you still have stock head pipes with the cats?

I still have the stock head pipe with the CAT. I'm cutting that out as soon as I can and that should give alittle more volume. They have a deep sound when you jump on it and the idle is a bit louder. I was out last night for awhile and I noticed that they're starting to get louder. Maybe it just takes time for them to brake in. I ran open pipes for the last 10 years so, I'm not sure if that's true.
