I think they must only be obnoxious with true duals. I have them with a decatted head pipe and I don't find them that loud at all. I have the PBR 300 amp and 6 1/2 in speakers, I hear the radio fine. Hogpro described them very well.

Kicks, I'm using a fuel moto tune with a powervision for mine, runs great.

Power vision from fuel moto for me too... I have dresser duals and think they are obnoxious at 2000-3000 rpms. In my opinion at that RPM range the megaphone tone comes out too much and they sound like crap. At idle and above 3000 they sound great.

I also have CFR mufflers and a De-cat header pipe . Before a Dynojet download the mufflers were loud after not so much . I like the sound .

I have the Boom Audio speakers and the stock radio. My volume is never louder than the L in VOLUME on the stereo head. Again, I still have the cat, so that, I'm sure, is why mine are tame compared to others. FWIW, a guy I ride with has a 2009 (no cat stock), Rinehart slip-ons and stock radio, and his radio is always louder than mine, and needs to be louder than mine to hear his music.

And I forgot the other question... I have a Power Vision, but I did not get a Fuel Moto map. Mine was done by another.

Base map was good for me since I haven't added aftermarket pipes or AC yet. My original tune is kinda rich...

I've heard CFR's before but haven't heard the CFR KO 's. Do they sound as good as the real deal?

I have the CFR's with the Power Duels. At speed they are pretty mellow but trust me when you twist the throttle the cages around you will take notice.

I have Cfr's also and love the sound, they mellow out nicely on the open roads and don't seem loud at all IMO. However I have read the packing in the knock off won't last more than a 1000 miles or so and then they get noticeably louder. I don't have any first hand expirience with th knock offs but the real deal Cfr's I like
