Why does it have to be the loudest. Loud is not always the best performer. I value performance over loud. But that's just me.

just pull your baffles and ride around being a noise terrorist. the "vested interest" just provided you with the way to get the baffles out. you'll loose a bit of torque... thats why there are inserts like the "vested interest" posted and lolliops out to create some back pressure.

OP...trust Kevin from DKCustoms...he knows his stuff. Also, like others state, loud doesn't equal good (in all cases). You may get the sound, but at what cost (crap performance & tinnitus). What's your true need/want? If it's sound then pull the baffles and ride-on. If it's performance, save for a decent 2-1 "full" exhaust. If it's the cool factor...can't help you there, but Bad Brad can...enjoy!

I hear you but -- no offense -- I'd like to hear from people without a vested interest.

Another, 'listen to Kevin' believer I've used TTI's in 3 different exhausts; they do work as Kevin has stated. They increase exhaust scavenging, improve low and mid-range torque, and the exhaust takes on a deeper tone. With my V&H Big Shots Staggered the TTI's removed that bright overtone typical of a V&H exhaust and left a deeper resonance.

Those TTI's are one of the best bang for the buck upgrades you can get

Baffles out and W158's in my BSS's:

I have the full Vance and Hines 2-into-1 exhaust on my Fatboy, and I love it. Great sound, great performance. I'm looking for something different for my sportster.

Take a listen to this little vid I just ran across on Instagram-

You may like it, may not, but it gives an idea of what the stock exhaust can sound like.

Here's a vid of what we did with some Short Shots on a Sporty.

Still not terribly deep tone, but a bit deeper, and more power.



I do not have a video of any Rush slip-ons on a Sporty...but Rush Slip-ons have a great deep tone.

The Tri-Glide in the following video (last bike) is a Performance Plus Stage I with Rush and TTI's...it's a pretty deep tone and loud.

Very true. But OP said he wanted loudest...did not mention a concern about performance.

Okay, I'll say it a different way; gut the stock pipes. Search Youtube to find out how. BTW I just saved you about $500.

I was thinking the same thing. Also I think gutted pipes with TTIs sound like crap
