Thank you Curt.
&nbsp\\;
Still looking around to find someone in my area with the V&amp\\;H Ovals so I can hear sound.d
&nbsp\\;
Wife telling me that she's tired of this game as I've done it with my last two rides and I haven't been satisfied with my previous choices..
&nbsp\\;
I'm to do it right this time, so am doing best research I can for now.
&nbsp\\;
Ride safe.
&nbsp\\;

I personally just put the Monster Ovals on my 06 SG and love them, have had the SE catalyst, Vance Hines Turndowns, Bassani Megaphone and I like the Monster Ovals best for overall sound, performance and I can still hear the radio.
&nbsp\\;
I have heard the ovals on an Ultra and they become to loud after a while, for my taste.&nbsp\\; In the beginning I thought they sounded good but they got louder over time.&nbsp\\; Listen to the entire YouTube clips and then decide if they are for you.

Don't understand how the Ovals get louder with age...The baffles are steel and do not have any packing in the cans...Have about 12,000 miles on them and they sound the same as day one to me, which is a sweet sound indeed!
