the specialty spares are pretty dang loud unmodified from what i gather?


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.
