Ok, Ive had a lot of inquiries about my Monster Oval muffers. So here is a video shot from on the bike going down the road, so you can hear what they sound like from the riders point of view:

Here is another Monster oval owner doing drive-by passes:

These are great mufflers if you like a nice deep tone, but don't want a loud system. They are both louder and deeper than the current 4" Screamin Eagle mufflers, but not TOO loud. They do NOT have the "crack" of the regular V&H Ovals. Hopefully you can get a good sense of what they sound like from the two videos. Listen with good speakers and turn the volume up a bit. For what its worth, I tried the Street Legal SE mufflers on my 07, and found them TOO quiet for my liking. The monsters are perfect if you want stereo friendly, but still want your bike to sound good.

 

I heard a bike with them when we were at Sturgis. They had a nice deep tone to them. I only heard them at a real low speed (just faster than walkin' the bike), but at that speed, they sounded similar to the Rineharts I thought (which is what I have).

I'm at work now so I can't view the videos that were posted due to the filters blocking YouTube.

 

I'm pleased with my Monsters. Deep and throaty. Can hear the stereo much better then original installed Ovals.

 

Ya know, I never realized how much I sound like a baritone version of Kermit the Frog until now.

 

I agree (had the regular ovals on two prev. bikes)

 

Ok Ace. You were on the bike while filming this. And ride it all the time too. After watching your own video how close would you say the video comes to representing the true sound of the monsters??? If they sound as good as they seem to on the video I may be looking into a set if I find a real great deal. They do have a similar low rumble like the Rineharts.

 

Of course it depends on your computers speakers, but if you have a half decent set of speakers, thats really what they actually sound like. My wife was shooting right over my shoulder, so the microphone on the camcorder was right by my ear. When I had the Street Legal SE mufflers on (my 07) they sounded ok at idle, but were almost silent when moving. The monsters maintain that deep low rumble when your cruising.

The second video, shot by someone else, in my opinion is CLOSE, but does not quite have the deep tone.

One thing I forgot to mention in the video, is a couple of times as Im accelerating, you hear a sucking noise. Thats my Heavy breather sucking in air, not the mufflers.

 

Would ya say they are louder or comparable to Rineharts??? I'm sure you may have heard them. There are a few people that have 'em.

 

Rineharts are a quite a bit louder. I had a buddy with duals/Rineharts on his 07 SG. I always liked the sound, but they were just too loud for me. (for any length of time) Here is my (opinion) on volume on what I have heard and/or owned:

1. Stock
2-3. Street Legal SE
4-5. Monster Ovals
6. Standard Ovals
7. Rineharts
9. Thunderheader
10. Strait Pipes

I DO think the monsters have the TONE of the Rineharts, without the volume.

 

I agree also. I have regular ovals and they have a "sharp" sound when I get on the throttle. They are also fairly loud. Not as loud as Rineharts IMO.

Those monsters sound awesome!
