In my opinion the Big Radius pipes are pretty quiet. A lot of it is probably because they exhaust while pointing towards the ground.

Whenever I'm anywhere where there are other bikes, I always find that my bike is by far the quietest bike around except for the occasional Goldwing.

I agree with alien, i honestly don't think the BR are loud. I love the look and the pipes and they are diff louder than stock but i could go for something louder but i like the look and what i got.

It seems quieter when you are riding with them, but when I was behind you Spyder, they seemed pretty loud when you gunned it!

I really like the look of the BR pipes and I do like the low growl they put out.

I also like the fact that I can be somewhat quiet if I need to be (neighbors, horses & cops...) or the fact that I can open them up a bit and get a little volume out of em.

I ride with a few guys that have Samson, Yaffee X-Pipes and even Cycle Shack slip ons' and it's hard to tell if my bike is even running.

Have them on my 08 SG. I love them. you can control the sound very easily. Full out it is loud, but once you get up to up to speed you can hear the radio just find.
