I've got the 3.5 Jackpots and went from the stock sound without the catalyst (prob a 2 on your 1-10 scale) to a 3-4. People I ride with tell me they sound good without irritating everyone. To me I wouldn't want em any louder. Tried the quiet baffle but didn't like them dropping my gas mileage by 3-4 MPG.

If the OP is interested I still have the Klocks in my garage sitting in the box.

During my search I found videos to be unreliable for sound representation. I looked at numerous videos of the Jackpots on RK's like mine and they turned out to be louder in spite of it. Just like the right seat, you have to try diff models until you find the right one and whose got the $ and patience for that sh$$. Im actually considering sending my stock slip's to American Customs and trying various baffle choices but even thats going to run me another $300 + all the shipping costs by the time all is said and

Did you find the KWs to be different or louder than the video? Thats been my experience. Id like a show of hands on how many peeps have pipes they tried in boxes sitting on a shelf in their garages. Theres got to be an easier way?

I think we should put everyone whose got pipes they bought only to put em back in the box and sitting on shelves together to swap back in forth using the honor system until they find a set with the exact sound their looking for then pay the original owner the cost, doesnt that sound better than the madness that currently exists?

They were pretty much the same but got a bit louder after being run for about 5000 miles. Not irritating loud on long rides you could still hear the radio at normal volumes and talk to passenger without a problem. I've had loud pipes on my Dynas and these KW's are not loud.
I switched to the CVO's and Fullsac 2" cores because like most people wanted to try something different. I kind of like the KW's better for sound as they were a bit deeper. I'll probably switch these out to a Supermeg 2-1 sometime down the road simply to change.
