I believe rhineharts have a quieter baffle slip in.......loud pipes do suck if your doing highway miles day in and day out....ear plugs will work also for this type of riding.......

With stock/regular factory mufflers you'll probably find the bike choking - too much restriction. Find a good performance slip-on that's quieter (SuperTrapps are not bad) and then have the bike tuned to them and you should find it much more enjoyable.

RE: NEED HELP From the Touring Section.
I have either tried or listened to many different mufflers for the same reason you mentioned. I also have the V&H true duals but I decided to stay with the factory 96 ci. I tried the new 64895-07A's and very happy with them. Has a nice low rumble with a slightly louder sound as compared to stock mufflers. I have a stage 1 and lost very little performance but gained better mpg due to the better Tq. I can hear my radio at any speed but when I twist the throttle it sounds good but still not loud. There are many many good mufflers to chose from. The number 1 factor in picking mufflers is no one's ears are the same so the sound that you like may not be what I like. spring is here so check some of your local places as where folks hang out and listen to what they have. The stock mufflers are very restricted on the left side-almost a fake you might say. Since you did not mention what bike you have I am assuming you have at least a 07 ultra because you say you like to tour and it is now a 103 ci.

How about trying some earplugs? I find that I am not as tired and am still able to hear the radio, traffic and all, even at 70-80mph when I remember to use my earplugs. The cheap foam ones are good, but the higher quality/price ones are even better at making your ride more enjoyable, less tiring and will save your hearing in the long run.

I have the BUB 7 true duals on my RKC and at a cruising speed of 75 I can hardly hear them. I don't have a radio so I don't know if I could hear it or not, but the BUB 7 system is no louder, to my ears, than the stock system at this speed/rpm.

I have great respect for Joe Minton and his recommendations.
This is the only slip-on he recommends.
S/Os HD Mikuni FLH/FLT 95-08, CHROME #128-78045 $338.00
http://www.supertrapp.com/product_se...emID=128-78045
Note: many styles of end caps available. They cost in addition to the mufflers.
You probably will need another dyno tune after the pipes are installed to ensure the best performance.
