Default How do I make my exhaust lounder?

I have a 2012 Softail Deluxe, 103ci, Vance and Hines true duals, and Harley Davidson high performance air cleaner kit. (I also have the Vance and Hines FP3 installed and mapped correctly.) I tried getting a hold of Vance and Hines to find out what baffles where in the pipes originally, but they couldn't tell me. I've taken the baffles out and it was just steel ridged inserts. (Which I left in, I did not like the sound the bike made decelerating with the baffles out.) I really like the way the True Duals look, and when I'm laying into the throttle like up an on-ramp, or passing someone they sound like a real Harley should.
So, does anyone have these pipes?
Does anyone have any suggestions to make her louder with these pipes?
Any advice would be great! Thanks!

The only way to make you V&H louder is to pull the baffles. You can install lollypops in place of the baffles to help a bit with back pressure. You will lose all of your bottom end torque doing this though....

The DKCustoms Thunder Torque Inserts would be worth looking into. Give Kevin a call.

I've taken them out of Short Shots & Long Shots, and cut them down with a grinder an inch at a time, to get the right sound. Beware once you start you can't turn back, unless you can weld.

This OP has all the earmarks of a troll. 2 threads started, and 3 posts total, both about having loud or louder pipes...

Could be a cry for help as "Loud Pipes Save Lives".
