The tapered TORS, the ones that look stock - anyone using them? How loud? Looking for one step up from stock, no rapping. '09 EFI America

I have tapered TORs on my EFI Speedmaster. A nice one step up from stock. Look and sound great.

I have them too. They're not really loud at all. They just make the bike sound like a stock bike from the 70's - i.e. they sound pretty good, but not excessively loud and no one will complain. If you want more performance and don't mind a louder pipe, go with an aftermarket pipe.

OK, got some nice temps so put the tapered TORs on with a schmere of RTV and took a spin. Nice, at all speeds and loads, and yes especially nice rolling on the throttle. They are straight thru glasspacks, with an old school sound ala Cherry Bombs, and I like 'em a bunch.

They pop and grumble a little on decel, but no backfire or loud stuff. I'm due for my 500 mile service, and may have the dealer remap it, not sure yet; I like the grumble!

I also have the tapered Tors, but I have run a 1/2 drill through both sides does not seem to make much difference. I like the sound of them. Also had the dealer remap..
