Fellow forum member "Down$hift" went for loud, and his bike ran like a Honda Rebel 250. If you want the Harley sound, buy a Harley or other V-Twin. Myself, nothing sounds sweeter than the OEM pipes. "Farm Truck" if you catch my drift . . .
      I don't want a Harley sound, read the post bud.

        Don't get your panties in a wad. Try a set of HD take-offs. They're slip-ons, and usually cheap at the dealer, as that crowd goes to Vance&Hines or similar for look/sound right from new. I've heard folks here picking them up for a little as $20pair from HD dealers. If too quiet, jerk the guts oughta' THEM.

          You'll find them brand new in the dumpster behind the Harley dealer.

            I don't think it will work. My header pipes run down the side of the bike as far as the rider foot peg, from there it goes 2 into 1 into the megaphone.

              If ther're 'sketti', Mac or 80 and earlier Standard header pipes OR XJ header pipes, slip-ons of whatever flavor WILL work. BTW, under the riders foot IS where stock headers and others DO exit.
              ALL Special yr. header pipes AND 81 Venturer do NOT have a short extension off the collector for any slip-on type muff.

                  Nice!........ironicly, ALL the early 80's CB series inline fours had factory 4 into 4 pipes that matched or bettered that sound......I know....I rode them.

                    This is almost exaclty how mine sound. Like I said, I installed baffled tips. See here...


                    I'll try and get a youtube video up over the weekend.

                      People use to hack 'em off right away in favor of 4 into 2.

                        And manufacturers are STILL making hideous, heavy and bulky exhaust pipes after all these years.

                        Think they can pack more onto this set up???? lol

                          They can't make 'em loud, so they make 'em look loud. 35 years ago stock pipes could howl pretty good.
