To get the sound back I'm either changing pipes to CFR or adding a cam.

 

I'm at 1500 miles on my SE Cannons and it is music to my ears now. They got substantially louder than new but not unbearable. I may be off man out but I prefer my slipon only sound of the M8 compared to full system sound of the TC. The M8 had more of a muscle car tone compared to the potato potato sound of the TC.

 

Maybe have a listen to S&S MK45 slip ons.

Honestly though, stop trying to chase the sound of a shovel or Evo. You aren't going to get it.

 

I too have been trying new slipons, V&H 4.5 Raiders, TBR, and guess what did it for me?
SE Street cannons, they bark when getting on the throttle. No other changes and no decel pop just a nice purrrr when I engine brake or back off after a hard acceleration. I agree with Dixonk, they are music to my ears also.
My Heritage TC 103 has V&H pro pipe 2-1, RC high flow intake and FP3. This would be way loud for serious touring.
I've got my Raiders for sale also, chrome.

 

I don't think anyone one here has delusions of the Shovel or EVO sound. The bike runs fabulous, makes great power, seat of pants and dyno. I just want more sound, thats all. I was extremely disappointed with the sound levels after the header swap.

 

Jc, that was kinda my point, trying not to step on toes. This M8 group can be a little sensitive. I was in a similar situation in my Honda VTX days. The VTX 1300 had a crankshaft design and sounded like a Vtwin, The VTX 1800 had a single pin crankshaft design and you could not get it to sound like anything other then a Honda. Many a VTX 1800 owner chased that sound for thousands of dollars. The good sound may be elusive with the new M8.

 

These will make a difference in sound and performance!
