I run Wyatt Gatling slip ons. They're pretty loud.

I have to agree with DK Customs, there are quite a few different ways to modify the stock exhaust that will give you varying degrees of loudness and tone. I've chosen to modify it by opening up the stock baffles, removing the cats, and welding cones on the end. It is louder without being loud, great bass note. All basically for free.

If you're handy with the cut-off and have a local welder (or can weld yourself), you don't have to spend $300-$500 in the aftermarket. Just my two cents.

Do the gutted pipes plus TTIs require a tune? I'd ***-u-me so, but...

The loudest would be none. Get some automotive chrome tailpipes at the local speed shop and cut them to whatever angle you like. They'll be loud, won't look too bad, and be cheap.

If you already have aftermarket slip-ons, or still have the factory air cleaner, you do not need to retune.

If you have a high flow air cleaner and stock slip-ons, then it would be a good idea to retune after gutting the pipes and installing TTI's.

Thanks. Trying to separate the wanna from the gotta. My bike has under 800 miles, and although the warranty ain't ****, and I HATE letting a dealership work on my bikes...

Did I mentioned I also run DK Customs W158 TTIs in my 3" Rush with 2.25' baffles....
