The most telling feature of your post is that you plan to insulate yourself from the racket you plan to impose on the rest of us. I'm glad you don't live near me and I pity your neighbours. Good luck.

Ummm I can't believe no one has said this ...but when you get a ticket for loud pipes don't come moaning to us. Though if what your looking for is the sound of a old school hot rod low rubble, big bite catless head pipe & Rush exhaust.

Also have a 2012 RKS and I was disgusted when I first listened to the stock setuip - aweful. Sounded like a BMW. Before I picked it up had a set of Vance & Hines monster rounds put on. What a difference! Short of removing the cat, this worked for me. Deep and throaty. Ride on a military base so I can't rattle the windows too much. Still, sounds good when you get on it but ears don't ring for 30 minutes after riding.

You're right here. If the rear head pipe on my Ultra ever goes bad, I plan on replacing it with the stock set.

Without wanting to hijack, what model helmet do you have?

Sound is pretty subjective. Before you take advice from people on a forum, and before you spend alot of money on something you've never heard, go to bike night or to a dealer on a Saturday morning, and listen for something you like. Find a bike like yours & ask him or her to fire it up. They will, no problem.

Sound IS pretty subjective, no kidding. Wow, never would have thunk it! Thanks for setting the OP straight, Geezr Glidr. Where would he be without you?
Yes, profound wisdom in this post!!!

Thx guys for all your recommendations and suggestions very helpful.
Well to be honest it's very hard to get some of the brands you mentioned I live in Amman ****** so I'm a bit confined to rineharts, v&h, and screaming eagles.
Plus here in ****** to show off your bike you have to have the loudest sound on the streets; on the bright side you will not get any ticket for having an ear bleeding sound out of any vehicle.
well for a the majority of seasoned riders this is a bit childish; I can understand that but since we don't have a lot of amazing streets to show off your bikes performance riders tend to show off with the sound of their bikes ( works for me and I really like it) nothing like having a bike that will silence all of the others...
I currently have the sportster custom xl 1200 2010, my decision to buy RK is to have the loudest bike I can get...
Thx again for all the suggestions I got very helpful advice.
I would like to hear other recommendations.
Great forum.

Sounds like your suffering from that strange "look at me" syndrome, a common affliction affecting those who were ignored at school . I believe the Latin name is harlecus narcissicus.
