Did you check with the eBay seller to make sure the head pipes were in stock? When I bought mines a month ago, every place I called said they was on back order until the end of October. Just so happen, motorcycle superstore had 4 sets left in stock. They price matched & I received them the next day. Warehouse is 15 minutes from my house. $417 plus tax. No tax for out if towners.

This is the first I've ever heard that the CFRs aren't loud... even with everything stock.

I think the CFRs with the stock headers sound good, but I look forward to the sound improvement when I eventually replace them with dresser duals.

Here's why your stock header is a little quite: Catalytic Converter
Wow! Can't believe ANY exhaust gets through that!

It can and it does.

It's also hard to believe that 1 gram of activated carbon has over 500 square meters of surface area. That's almost 5400 square feet, the size of a pretty big house. Those are the wonders of science.

CFR's with true duals are LOUD not doubt about it. I initially installed them with the factory header on a 2002 Road Glide and thought they where perfect. I then added the Cobra True Duals and they got MUCH louder. I love the sound but wish they where slightly quieter. One thing I'm disappointed in is the Chrome plating on one of my mufflers. It seems to scratch WAY TO EASY. After the install I used compressed air to blow off an dust and then wiped them down with Detail Spray and it put thousands of small scratches in the chrome. The Cobra heatshield that got the same cleaning looks perfect where the CFR looks like I hit it with fine sand paper. The other CFR looks fine. Does anyone know the Phone number for CFR?
