Loud pipes.
I am thinking about buying a 2014 SGS. Right now I have a 2006 SG with duals and V&H round pipes. It is fairly loud and if I were to buy the 2014 I would want it to sound like the 2006.
Any suggestions on what pipes I would want on the 2014?

How about duals with V&H round pipes?

Really like the look and sound of my V&H dual and monster ovals. To my ear, they sound a little deeper than rounds.

Sounds like you found the sound you like. Pull the V&H round pipes off the 2006. Get some true duals and re install theV&H round pipes on the new ride. Add an air cleaner and a tuner. Then you're all set.

I have seen but not heard the ovals and like the looks.

When it comes to Harley - everything voids the warranty if you didn't buy it and have it installed by Harley.
