Samson makes some slip ons that are just like drag pipes. They also make baffles to fit them. I ran them with no baffles and they are loud! Not terribly expensive either.

My supertrapp elites are pretty loud!

My friends still ride with me....so I guess they're still not loud enough...lol

(any slip-on without the baffle will be loud....I have not heard CFR's but I do agree....Sampsons are loud also)
