I've heard nothing but props on my set up. 95", gear cams, dual header pipe and put the LA Choppers 3.5" slip ons on.... HOLY COW. Deep rumble sound at an idle. Hear me coming down the block. Totally recommend LA Choppers.

If you could get the injected bikes to idle as low as the carburated bikes that makes a better soundin bike as well

this bike wasn't idling though.. he was heading toward the highway for a parking lot and when he hit the highway it was awesome... When he was heading for the road his bike sounded like he was in a tunnel or something....

I have an 07 ultra with V&H mufflers and SE intake and dealer download and while it sounds good, sadly it doesn't have the rumble. Heh

Think it needs a cam upgrade for that. So many threads about cams... and then it needs to go on a dyno but need to buy a tuner first...

I'm having fun though, with what I have, sounds good when I get on it...

Get true duals, you'll be amazed at the difference.

Great post, SR90. I share your sentiments.

I'm in the same situation; but like you, I'm having too much fun right now with what I have.

I may do the Andrews 48H cams and Power Vision tuner next Spring, but I have the Fall and Winter to think about it.
