I have Short TORS on my 07 TBA and really like them, however, I've come to the conclusion that they are not loud enough for me.

Are there any mods that I can perform to make them louder? Or will I just have to change out the pipes to BUBS or something similar?

Thanks for the help!

I guess you already have the snorkel out of the airbox, that makes for better sound from a riders position.

He makes a good point. I have the shorty tor's too, and yes my airbox is MIA. Mine sounds ok by itself, but admittedly I'd like to make a bit more noise in the presence of those Harley boys. My prob is, I don't like those long pipes. Are there any really low note/rumbly short pipes? Can the baffles be removed from TOR pipes, and does that make them soung like an old glass pack/cherry bomb? I HATE that poppy sound.

Actually, based on some peoples reviews on here, I am just going to order a set of these:

Cheap and loud. Anybody have any reviews on this specific pipe?

Those look cool. Are they model specific, because the description seems a bit generic. My concern is how they will mount with regard to existing brackets. Also, do you know of a sound clip of these?

Someone does have a sound clip in here somewhere but I can't find it. But when I did listen to it, they sound awesome, it's basically an open pipe.
