I like a little rumble, but really loud pipes took away from riding for me. I found with the Propipe I could wrap the baffle and adjust them to my liking.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #137400 Chevyhoss (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 80 Re:Quiet PIpes 3 Years, 6 Months ago   For those of us that still like it loud what are your plans for the pipes you took off?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #137401 JusPlaynBob (User) Sig Pic deleted larger than 50 kb Junior Boarder Posts: 113 Re:Quiet PIpes 3 Years, 6 Months ago   tommyt wrote: I guess I am just getting old... when I purchased my used Roadstar, it had Strait cobras whit a big Beather... so damn loud you soulc hear it on the other side of the county.

I was embarrassed to ride my Roadie when I bought it. The Reinhart Drag pipes, sounded like the old generator on my Grandfather's cattle barn. Can't have that, so I put the OEM pipes on. Ahhhh.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/11/09 09:07 By JusPlaynBob.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #137435 pyeratt (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 44 Re:Quiet PIpes 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I felt the stock pipes a little to tame for my ears. I have to agree with javewave also. A nice deep rumble is nice. If most of my experience is noise when I ride I don't enjoy it as much. Before I put the dooleys on I had a 2 into one BUB set up. Nice but a little loud and I had decided I was going for the dooley look anyway. I still have it in my garage along with the stock set up. I do like the idea of the car beside me potentially hearing me. I don't know if that's realistic with there windows up, stereo blairing, and talking on the cell phone though.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #137448 N56629 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 128 Re:Quiet PIpes 3 Years, 6 Months ago   The only thing I really don't like about the OEM pipes is that you can't put a decent set of bags on the bike. However, I do like pipes that are a bit louder than stock. Tone is really more important than volume to me.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #137451 6hrtbt3 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 627 Re:Quiet PIpes 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I agree, I put the Krome Werks slash cuts on my 07, and it is to loud for me. Winter project will be to do a Stage 1 on my stock pipes and put them back on the bike.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #137458 Chevyhoss (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 80 Re:Quiet PIpes 3 Years, 6 Months ago   pyeratt, Are the dooleys as loud as a stage 3 version of the OEM pipes?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #137460 VikingWarhorse (User) American by birth-Viking by blood Gold Boarder Posts: 907 Re:Quiet PIpes 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Yesterday I was running with another Roadie and he had those Cobra straights.....sounded like ass! I much prefer my Samson Ripsaws. Not to aweful loud at cruising speed but if I have to gun it to get by you they will blow your windows out! LOL. My bike wil always be loud. Personal thing I guess. As some one stated before, the OEM pipes wont let ya get good size bags on, Hell, might as well strap a lunchbox on you bike. Gotta have good bags.   Logged     www.vikingwarhorse.webs.com -New trip story and pix 1/30/2010 THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AINT NOTHING LIKE THE COST OF LIVING HIGH   The administrator has disabled public write access. #137483 pyeratt (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 44 Re:Quiet PIpes 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Chevyhoss, I have never heard stage 3 OEM before. I can't compare them to that. You can get an idea of what dooleys sound like from a Youtube done on it. Maybe try a search here for that. I found it by a search on a forum thread.
