I've listen to so many pipes I'm now tone death and all of them sound the same. So, I need help. Please choose out of these videos the pipes you like the best.
Just based on the vids, I like the Hookers, then the Rineharts. I think the bike with Hookers was cammed, though, so the comparison might not have been fair.
You have to hear them in person and decide what you want your bike to sound like. Also, keep in mind, if you go on a really long trip, a LOUD pipe may cause discomfort.
You have to listen to them in person and make sure the exhaust configuration and the engine is the same as yours. The same slip-ons on a 110" with true duals will sound differently than on a 96" with stock headers and stock cams.
This being said, to me, the best sounding pipes are the ones I have now on the bike: CFR
I said to me because sound preference is highly subjective.

I've had 9 different exhausts on my bike over the past 4 years...........slip-ons, true duals, 2-1's.........I've tried them all.
I like the sound of Rinehart TD's on other people's bikes, but they were too raspy and loud on my bike.
My favorite is the Fatcat 2-1 with quiet baffle............great power, great quality, great sound, and not too loud.
Exhaust sound is very subjective to each individual, sound clips don't do them justice at all. Go to your local dealer on a Saturday morning and sit outside and just listen to bikes as they come in. When you find one you really like, see what it is and give it a tray.
