I assume you have removed all of the packing material from the baffles? If so, and they are still not loud enough, just pull the baffles, they sound like all holy-hell without them.

I agree with markomatic, mine's so loud it trips car alarms regularly.

My SS's are very loud too. I'm thinking of toning them down. If you want them louder take the glass packing out.

ok thanx everyone, i unjammed my baffles (they were in very very tight) and took off the glass pack. im prolly gonna put like half back in so i dont have the high pingy loud sound. just a bit more muffle and theyll be good

I removed about 30% of my packing for a nice sound. If you put the packing back in, wrap the baffle with some hardware cloth before reinserting the baffle, it will keep the packing from bunching up at one end. Someone posted this several times (Triumphant?) and it works well.

Not really, I do think they have a deeper rumble than the other aftermarket pipes I've heard. Check out Triumphant's video clips for the sound of stock and modified pipes. After riding with my stock pipes for a few months, I removed some packing for a bit more noise. I ride two-up with my wife so I didn't want anything as obnoxious as straight pipes.
