I've found them just enough louder & deeper than stock for my taste, at all speeds. I live down a long driveway, and have good neighbors. None have complained at all. There are Youtube videos out there - here's one featuring the same pipes as mine...



They won't stay nicely chromed inside like that for long.

Yep they sound great Peg, thanks for the link! I like that they don't seem to get louder when the bike is revved.

I have the Cobra Tri Flo slip ons with Chucksters BAK and the noise level is just right for me. I can still hear the radio at all speeds and I have not had any complaints from my neighbors. I do mute the radio and keep the RPM's down when on my street or Main Street in town.
