HI Guys. I just bought my wife a 2006 1220c sporster and it has stock pipes . Its not loud enough for her . She has sampsons on her 2000 883 and they sound good too.

i put on a pair of cycle shack baloney cut slip ons yesterday. boy are they loud, maybe too loud if that's possible. i bought them from Jireh's for $123.00 to my door.
i have noticed a loss of low end torque though, and i started blowing oil again. i guess rejet is necessary with these. i did a lot of research and these are the least expensive around. install took 45 minutes with simply tools.

They're plenty loud... got that really good Harley rumble... they are baffled... they offer three types of baffles... quiet... mid (mine and they way they come) and louder... though I that is hard for me to believe... lol

I love they way they look on a sporster... they just seem to go with the flow of the bike... Of course to each his own... lol

Need anymore info... just drop me a pm...

Amen on the Troublemakers. I love mine and I have one of the loudest bikes in town, although that wasn't my intention. The sound quality is excellent. You can hear it here:
