I'd be interested in what you come up with. I have the standard baffle and I hate the sound. I was wondering about going to the quiet baffle. Have about decided to try the MGS True Duals. A friend packed the MGS mufflers with some good SS packing and is real happy with sound. I started what turned out to be a pretty big thread on here about the MGS True Duals, I've held off buying them because I'm afraid of them being too loud. I don't mind loud around town, but driving all day with loud pipes ain't no fun. A new exhaust will be my forth one counting the stocker.....I'd like to get it right finally.

I like how my bike runs without the CAT and stock mufflers but I would like a slightly deeper / louder muffler. Here are the two companies I have been considering.

http://www.khromewerks.com/HP-Plus-M...065-234-1.html
http://www.sscycle.com/product/Taper...er-p22398.html

Both are made by the same manufacturer. I think the S&S are slightly louder than the Khrome Werks mufflers.

I run the RCX-haust slip ons with my stock header de-catted.
Nice and quiet when cruising - deep throaty idle - louder when wide open but not obnoxious.
The flow good too, my 107" makes 109hp and 118lbs torque with the baffles intact

The khrome Werks 4.00" HP Touring are an excellent choice. If they arent loud enough, they have an optional performance baffle.

I have a 09 Ultra with a cat head pipe and SE street performance slip ons, there not much louder than stock. I can travel 2 up 400 mile days with no ear plugs.

I had a set of the Khromewerks 3.5 HP mufflers and really liked them....and so did the folks that road behind me! Had baffle go bad and decided to go a different direction. ( I had true duals and was looking for more low end torque.) Sold the mufflers to a buddy who is really happy with them as well. (I put a new baffle in before I sold them.) I was running the V&H Dresser Duals with the Khromewerks muffs. I really loved the sound. Started looking for more low end torque or I would still be running the true dual with Khromewerks mufflers!

Spot on. OE mufflers are going to get louder over time anyway as the packing settles and gets coated with exhaust soot. My '14 SG sounds just right under acceleration and purrs along in 5th and 6th.
