Which probably explains the following statement--I am fully aware that loud(er) mufflers lead to hearing damages! But.....that's bikers' life.
If you look at my avatar you will see my previous straight pipes. I installed factory exhaust as an experiment and preferred the more conservative tone. Of course, I also think women dressed in professional business suits look sexier, when compared to those dressed scantily-clad. Maybe I'm just odd.stock mufflers = NO SOUND AT ALL. I repeat: no sound at all. Total silence

good luck and ride safe.
I have to agree with you. If they don't like the sound, buy a Honda or a Lincoln. A Harley's sound is unique and part of it's history. Stock pipes = no sound and very, very poor performance. You are losing as much as 45% of your power and torque with them. Aftermarket pipes are the way to go. I use the V&H Pro-Pipe and it's an excellent exhaust. Performance is as good as it gets, and they are not very loud while cruising. Crank it, and they will speak up, though!emirharley said:Even though I do agree with you, I'd like to emphasize that stock mufflers = NO SOUND AT ALL. I repeat: no sound at all. Total silence, just wind around you. And no sound at all is NOT a Harely heritage. So.........if you are INSIDER, in-the-Harley-game you gotta love and ask for at least louder muffs. That is what I think. And even though taking into account that I am fully aware that loud(er) mufflers lead to hearing damages! But.....that's bikers' life. Like once upon a time "Fatboy" said "if you do not like this kind of game, go ahead and buy a car".
