If you have sound clips or vids please post. Also, will wrapping them make them quieter?

Here is my 48 with Bassani FireSweeps they are freakin loud...just the right amount.
The baffles are welded in so you cant take em out but trust me they are louder than V&H shortshots with the baffles in.
They have a larger Pipe diameter too.

Any pipes are loud with no baffles. I have Martin Bros 2 Down's on my bike and took the baffles out-very loud and sounds sweet! Slip on's without baffles not so sweet. If you are going to run an open pipe then you want to use a smaller pipes to get a better sound and still have a tad bit of back pressure.

Good luck finding the loudest pipes possible.

Hope you don't live in my town.

Here ya go. I have Exotic Choppers "fuelies"! They are out of Florida. Way loud! No baffles or oxygen sensores. Gotta run a Power Commander V tuner with them.

^^Kinda hard to beat that. Also look at Sikk Pipes or Nash Motorcycle(Sikk makes Nash's pipes). Theyve got a few designs that will without a doubt be stupid loud.

How do I remove the baffles on my stock 48 pipes?

I saw your bike on YouTube...very, very nice. Don't you burn your legs at traffic lights? Also, how technical is it to change the pipes on your own?
