IMO the 3.5" pipes are "raspy". The new 4" Riney's are "deep" I'm running the 4" and love them. Solo or 2-up ...not too loud for touring, but bark when you get on it! They sound like a bagger should.

A friend of mine just bought a new 2011 Street Glide (beautiful bike) and he just installed the 4" Rineharts and I'll tell ya they look great! Large round diameter and the sound is great. They really fill in under the saddlebags nice. I liked them so much I'm going for a set myself this winter...and my pipes that I have now are fine. Lol

The 4's have a deeper sound at idle. The 3.5 are louder on the throttle. I like them both, but I have the 3.5's and don't plan on changing to the 4's. I dont know what the "raspy" sound some people talk about is. Also I have mine on true duals as well

The 3 1/2" are louder. The 4" are deeper. If you want loud and deep get the NEW CFR slipon's. They have the new performance baffle. They sound amazing on true duals.

I heard the 4" Rinehart's on a brand new, otherwise stock, 2012 SG at the dealership.
Maybe it's because the SG was in the showroom, but those Riney's BOOMED! They sounded great (deep, with some thump), but I think they'd be too loud for me.
Just sayin'...
