Currently running these and I think they sound good. Been listening to Cult 45 and Zombie 4’5” and Boneshakers. Too many to choose from. Ugh! Wounding it the tab 4.5 are much louder?

Air up the front tire to 36 pounds and the exhaust will be mellow until you “get on it”, and then it will bark!

I run V&H power duals up front and CFR’s at the rear. If you like a low tone it’s the set-up.

CFRs are the best sounding but they are obnoxiously loud, expensive, nearly unobtainable and like true duals rob power. I am pretty happy with Fatshots and fullsac header but sound isn't my thing.

As many have pointed out, only you will know which sounds best to you. I have always loved how Rineharts sounded until I put them on my bike. I now have Cobra True Duals with Cobra RPT mufflers, a little louder than I was looking for but at cruising speed it is pretty good and I can still hear my radio. Check out a bike show or rally and spend time at the manufactures tents, you will know it when you hear it.
