Cycle Shacks are loud and annoyingly loud if you remove the baffles. Don't get me wrong I love the sound with baffles on but at times it annoys me because they are so loud on longer highway runs.

Default fishtails

Had Vand H fishtails on my 03 RoadKing. They did not have the quiet baffles and were relatively loud on long rides to the point of giving me a headache. I sometimes used earplugs or stuffed some kleenex in my ears.

I also got a fair bit of popping on decel. These were not supposed to require
re-mapping on a stocker.

This time I am thinking of doing it a little differently. Have a set of brand new 2014 CVO 4 in pipes and am going to go with fulsac 2 in. baffles with the screens and insulation on my Electraglide. According to Fulsac -no mapping required unless you go to the bigger baffles. We shall see. This seems to be the cheapest route to get a custom set up with a little rumble.

Another consideration is the fat fines for exceeding 80db whereI live.

I second that......I believe Thunderheaders may be the loudest pipes on the market.....Had them on a 2000 Road King some years ago and they made the bike sound like it had a big block chevy motor in it
