Interesting, I bought my Specialty Spares because I thought they had a very "throaty" sound. The only others I've been able to compare to besides stock are Bubs and TORs. I like the sound of my pipes with new re-packed baffle material the best. As the baffles age they do get more raspy at high rpms. New baffles reduce the volume a bit but don't hurt the low end growl.
Great pipes. I hope Dale gets the company going again. Mine are 6 years old with 22,000 miles on them and still look like new. I order Moose fiberglass 4-stroke muffler packing to re-pack them.
