Sportster too quiet, what can I do?

I took a brand new 2011 Sportster Superlow 883 on a test run, but it's very quiet to what I have heard from other Harley's. Yet on their website they claim it has the classic HD "rumble" sound.

What are my options? Is there anything I can do to make it louder if I buy one? Apparently they have to quieten them down to be allowed to sell them.

I used a piece of 3/4" pipe sharpened to a point to knock out my stock baffles. Sounds better, but not loud enough to really piss off the neighbors.

Since I live in the country and my closest neighbors my wife's family, that's almost important.
