I have a 92 custom soft tail and just bought 2013 street glide. I can't stand the "stock" sound. I like it loud. The louder the better. Can someone give me some advice on through perfect ones? Thanks.

vance & hines big shot duals are their loudest they make, can be run without baffles if you want also.

The wife was a quarter mile away when I finally fired up the MGS true duals today. She heard 'em and was quick to let me know. But not an obnoxious loud sound. Low sound waves carry further. A nice burble at idle.
I like 'em.

You want loud power? http://www.thunderheader.net/.

Too loud and you defeat the purpose of a touring bike.

We found the V&H Monster Rounds with Dresser Dual header are great. Just unwrap the fiberglass and it's perfect.

Had Thunderheader on my 96" WG and they sound deep and powerful. Produce really good power as well. IMO they sound better than V&H....V&H are more of a poppy and raspy loud where the TH is a deep rumble and scream when you open it up. The D&D is too much of a "rock in a can" sound to me. Deep but too "tinny". The MGS I heard is more deep and powerful and sing when you get on it but with that unique true dual sound. Don't know how to describe it...just different. Opinions are like ******** but my opinion is a Touring bike looks better with duals rather than 2-1. Dyna, Sportster and some soft ails are decent with a 2-1 and I guess a handful of touring but that's ones that are more of the show style. CFR has been getting a lot of praise for being the deepest and best sounding as well as loud. Sound clips of CFRs sound really good and last I talked to Cary Fass about a month ago, he said he is releasing his dual headers.......only problem is, CFR is pretty expensive

MGS TD would be my choice.
