HD, I see on your pic you're running Pro Pipes on your bike. From other post I read they might be the solution for me. Can you tell me a little about your experience with these pipes? Compare those to the long shots for instance. Thx

ProPipe sucks, worst pipe ever! I'm kidding of course, I'm just saying that so no one else gets that pipe. Lol!! It's a fantastic pipe with a great rumble and noticeable increases in performance. For me though, I'd like it a little louder.

However, I did notice a small spot of rust on one of the welds right before I put it away for winter. I'll know more about that when I get it out for the season.

Ear plugs solve the problem and quiet the air noise (which I find more damaging to my hearing) than the exhaust . Try em, it makes a much more enjoyable ride.

I can post a vid of mine tomorrow big radius 2-2 with a pretty good cam lope.
I believe there are no baffles, and there very very loud.
After I get my big bore kit on and take it to have it tuned. The tuner might put half a baffle back in for a little pressure and to hopefully quiet it down a tad.

Well it made it up to 32* yesterday, but only 28* today. So I'm thinking by June we should be all set
