Love the Big Radius. Best looking pipes in my humble opinion.
Sound great, great performance but LOUD! Gotta start riding with ear plugs, at least in my right ear.

I run shortshots (without baffles) and they sound great. Almost too loud though. I may have to put the baffles back in. I have heard the V/H shortshots, sideshots, and big radius. They all sound very similar to me.

I think you need the Big Radius 2 into 1. Do they make them in black? Every bike I see has the Big Radius, yep even mine. But I love the sound.

I do like the look and sound of the Big Radius pipes
They do have a "plap plap" sound at low rpm cruising that's a little annoying to the rider, though people riding beside you don't hear it. They sound sweet at high rpm's.
If you want them a bit deeper sounding, I've heard these baffles make a difference.......

I have the ThunderMonster baffles. The sound is great

+1 what brihvac said....big city thunder baffles will make a huge difference - talk about a deep throaty....only downfall...I had to take the pipes and heat shields completely offto install the new baffles.

I'm heard now.

In addition to the deep and throaty sound, do those Big City Thunder baffle quiet down the pipes any?

It makes them louder. Its the closest you can get to open pipes without baffles. Only differance is you dont lose the low end torque. I proved that on the dyno. The torque stayed exactly the same as when it had the stock exhaust

I agree with that they are louder and you don't lose the low end torque
