Hard Krome 3" staggereds. They were way too loud in their original condition but with the crumb cups in the ends they are pretty sweet. Nice purring rumble at cruising and idle but gets attention when you get on it. Noticeable performance gain over stock and weigh half as much.

Stock. For now...

I had Cobra Lo-Boy Shotguns on my V-Star 1100.

I don't know if I want to go with cannons or sweepers.

I'm running the HK 3 inch Big Straights. Currently running with the spiral baffles. When the wife rides with me I add the Crumb Cups modified with a 3/4 hole in the center. Just takes enough of the edge off to keep her happy on the back!

I got V&H Powershots very nice sound I get a lot of compliments on the sound. Not too loud unless I really get on it. plus it has a cross over to give me the performance of a 2n1. They also look great! but I'm biased

What kind of exhaust do you have on your Roadstar and how would you compare it to your buddies exhaust? There has to be an exhaust system out there that "Just sounds like it was made for the Roadstar". Any suggestions?

I find the Cobra LoBoy Shotguns to be perfect for me

I'll be the oddball of the bunch with my Roadhouse Duals. Some like 'em, some don't. I like them about as much for the look of having pipes down each side as I do for the sound. Below is a crude video of how they sound on a cold bike. The video was taken just after they were installed. They were bought used from another guy off this forum.

I have JP WHitney staight fishtails $49 each. Had to add $1.50 baffles to make the sheriff happy. They sound great. I agree with the recommendation to visit some events and look and listen.

I have Hard Krome Sideburners, I love them they sound great, and my Harley buddies love the sound of them too. There is a lot of envy when I ride by them on my R* that cost half as much as there bikes and then outperform and look better.
