Turn down exhaust. Loud?? 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
Because of my stretched bags I need new exhaust. I am thinking about turn down exhaust. Does anybody use them and are they very loud in compare to, for example, longshots. Like to hear from you guys.

Buddy has them... they seem louder to me because of the noise reflecting off the pavement...also, if you have a radical turn down...watch for sprayimg road debris around. I ve been blasted a couple times by dirt and pebbles when he "twists the wrist".

On the way back from getting a new rear tire I rode up beside a Fatboy with these sort of pipes. Yeah they were LOUD. So loud in fact that when he took off from the red light as if he was racing me I decided I'd rather have the nice mellow tone of my Roadhouse pipes than embarrass him with the mighty power of the 102. Good riddance to his blaring pipes....no offense intended to those that set off car alarms in 3 states when you twist the throttle.

Here's what I put on my bike. I have the unbaffled set, but you can get them with baffles. I like it loud, and they're a pretty good bargain for the price. Ask them what kind of a deal they can make with you. I think I paid about $200, including heat shields.
