Yeah, just dont be an *** hole and you'll be fine. Unless you roll in at 2AM on weeknights and rev up and down the block , no one will care.

My neighbor two doors down has a wide glide with stock pipes. He compliments my pipes all the time.

After installing mine I went & asked my neighbors on either side of the alley to see if they bugged them being loud they all said that they don't bug them they hear me coming in late but that I'm respectful that I don't open it up in the neighborhood.

a little courtesy and you'll be fine with you neighbors

The younger side of me says "that's awesome". The older side of says "it's good to have neighbors that like me". It's nice to know that if I forget to close my garage in the morning on the way to work my neighbors will close it for me or call me. The older I get the more I learn that I shouldn't try so hard to **** people off.

watch for cops , take it easy in town as a rule, the volume is on your right hand, and of course it will sound alot louder in the garage! Also i spoke to some neihbors kinda shy ish and they said NOOOOO we think they sound great!

Hey Jim, I'm sorry you're not real happy with those pipes. I never really put much thought into the loudness of them. They weren't really any louder than the previous pipes I ran, V&H.

Since you already have them installed I would try them out on the road, once the weather breaks. They were pretty loud in my garage but I never found them to be obnoxious, and my neighbors still spoke to me.

They did get a good bit louder with the big baffles along with my big bore kit.

You might want to look into other brands of baffles, since that's a common size you might be able to try to fit some in there. You might have to drill a hole in them to bolt them in the rineharts and or trim the length. I don't know but it could be worth looking into.

Good luck
Jeremy

I've got V&H ProPipe BP 2 into 1 pipes and they do tend to get louder as the baffle wears. After a couple of years, I put the 106 kit in and the pipes seemed much louder. Now that I've ridden it a while, it seems just fine.
