'13 FXDC, factory exhaust can't wake a baby up.

My brother has short shots on his fatboy 88. I like the decibel level, but
would like something a little more throaty. It can be duals or 2 into 1, no
real preference there, don't want real long pipes though. Open to any brands,
would also like minimal power loss. Sub 500 would be idea.

Also at some point, I will add a A/C. Most likely a SE cone.

Thanks, also some pics would be great.

 

Seems like the longer pipes have the throatier sounds, but if you want shorter, louder and pipes that don't scrape - Bassani 1D5250, see signature.

 

Big Shots are one. Can be very loud or deeply loud depending on what baffle you use.

 

D&D FatCats!

 

big shots sound great! but the thunder header takes the cake,I get a lot of complaints on the sound.

 

complaints, or compliments? lol.

 

My cycle shack slip ons are pretty deep sounding and for only $150 cant beat that

 

+1. Best bang for the buck IMO.

 

compliments !!!!!!!!

 

If you want a full exhaust, V&H 2-1 are great. Lots of pics in My Garage (click on the link next to my avatar). I have the big radius because I like the look and sound, also got a nice bump in power. The Pro Pipe supposedly gives even more power increase, but I like the devil-tail curve of the big radius better. You'll lose your passenger pegs with the big radius though. So if you plan on riding 2 up, go with the Pro Pipe.

The V&H baffles get louder over time (mine did anyway), so even though they sound great when new, they get better after a few thousand miles.
