I bought a set last year, I had the Max 2 first but found them too loud so I returned them for the Max 1. I love them, they are recored harley mufflers so they look stock.
I believe stock pipes are 80db, Max 1 88db and Max 2 95db.
So they right in the middle.
They use stock pipes that the dealer takes off for aftermarket pipes, so they may have a few scratches.
Bob was great to deal with and for the price you can't beat them.

Didn't care for the 1's... Liked the 2's quite a bit, but didn't use them as intended to some extent...
Eh, read this - Might be just what you're looking for: http://www.johnscrip.com/html/blog_f...w_mufflers.php
Concentrate on the part about using the left Max2 and the stock right... That was the magic.
KEEP IN MIND OF COURSE that depending on what year you're running, IME, you aren't going to be satisfied with anything until the cat goes away.

I had the Max 1 on my 2011 Road King with a stock head pipe. It wasn't very loud and only a minor improvement over stock. Basically it sounds like stock and gets the stock snarl when you get on it quicker than with stock pipes. I ended up putting on a thunderheader 2 into 1. If you want a cheap slip on I would go with the Wild Pig Exhaust off of eBay. They are comparable in price. I would also get Vance&Hines true duals. Just my opinion.

No, I am very happy with my thunderheader exhaust. I had considered the wild pigs and V&H True Duals when I was looking for a new exhaust. Wild Pig's website also has de-catted stock exhaust for $150. I think the slipon mufflers are around $150 as well. Then you could get an Arlen ness big sucker intake for around $100 and a V&H Fuel Pak for around $200. Do the work yourself and you would have one cheap stage 1 upgrade.

Well you know more about than I do. It just sounded like the OP might be on a budget since they were asking about B&E exhaust. The sound clips I had heard of them sounded nice but I was disappointed when I installed them. Maybe I should have gutted the cat in my head pipe. But I had some money to burn and went with the thunderheader. Allegedly 2 into 1 exhaust have more power from what I have read on this forum. I am no expert by any means though.
