Thanks Tinman & KS --- Sound is my priority. Performance is secondary. My bike's fast enough for me! Maybe I'll switch to Dresser Duals, unless somebody tells me there's something out there that sounds a whole lot nicer.

If you're already running TD's, and you like TD sound, I wouldn't change them...

Find a muffler that produces the sound you want.

I second that emotion!

Installed the Rush BL with 4" baffles with the stock head pipe. Nice. Then changed out the stock heads with Rush True dual with a stage 1. Very nice sound. The true duals made the tone deeper. Not loud at idle but you'll notice it when you get after it. Switched the baffles to 2". Less heat is big.

I took the stock headpipe off and replaced it with the Fuel Moto catless 2-1-2 pipe and it makes the stock pipes bark. Losing the cat makes a definite difference.
