I wonder if SS changed something in their baffles? Has anyone heard a side-by-side comparison of old SS versus a new set? When mine were stock, while throatier than my 1st Gen TOR's they were certainly weren't what I would call loud vs. an Epco or Sceptre. Shoot, I was at an event in VA two weeks ago and Presto was there with his new SS pipes. But I have pulled some packing material from mine, so they are now definitely louder. I didn't get a chance to hear his (now his wife's) bike running.
Quote: Actually Jack, I reckon all pipes should have a decibel rating at a constant rpm. That way people can be informed of what they are buying and not just relying on someone else cos obviously it's very subjective.
I bought the SS pipes believing what others had said, and by no means was it their fault I found them to be a tad too loud. It's just that to them, they aren't too loud - simple
