2. If you don't like loud pipe just for the sake of loud pipes, don't put them on YOUR bike.
3. If I wan't MY Harley to sound the way I believe MY Harley should sound, don't worry about it!
4. Ask you wife if I need to compensate.

Well I do hope you realize that probably 75% of the people that own Harleys put pipes on them for sound and not strictly performance, so I guess you are telling a ton of people on this forum that we are just compensating. Do us all a favor and go get on your "160 whp" bike and rearend a semi.

I had a set of no baffled big shots on my Train for a minute or twenty....
By gawd they were beyond loud. They snapped, crackled popped and were simply rolling mayhem.
They made great power on the top end too.
They sucked ***** on the low end.
I'm certain would I not have changed them I would have been pulled over in most towns across the country for violating every noise ordinance known to man.
By Gawd they were Fvckin' Loud!! I have long since gone with a sensible pipe that makes better power and isnt quite as disturbing. The unbaffled V&H Big shots were a rolling nuinsance. Some days do I miss em? No not really. When I look at the photo above I forget that noise making outlaw scoot was even my bike......It was cool for a minute.

I don't really care about performance loss, don't get me wrong but I didn't buy a crotch rocket. I am going for 50/50 looks and sound. I like the look of a shorter black exhaust for my bike. That being said, I want them as loud as I can get them. I don't have unlimited funds to spend, and I already think the 6-700 I have been quoted on the radius exhaust is getting expensive, hell its only a couple feet of pipe compaired to the exhaust I have on my truck that cost 1/2 as much and is 4x longer.
