Do you have any baffle in the pipe? The right baffle and longer pipes can make the difference between the sound of latent power and irritating step-child.

I had passed the 3,000 dollar mark on my rebuild and instead of dropping another 800+ bucks on the Freedom True Duals I wanted, I found some 'temporary' 200 dollar Santee pipes with minor baffles on e-bay, I'm not sure if they make my Star sound good or the Star makes the cheap pipes sound good, but I like it.

Here is a link to a low res video I made just after installing the Santee pipes about half way through the rebuild.

Oh yes, my video assistant is 'Karma' my wifes german shepherd pup.
