Default Sound byte for Samson fishtails?

I've searched this site and the internet in general, and can't find a sound byte for these. I'd like to put them on an '03 Road King Classic (slip-ons).
Any help appreciated.

The man is right, they are extremely loud...they are drag pipes with a fishtail shaped outlet...if you ever heard drag pipes you know what the sound like.

I love mine, but then again I never ride in groups or attempt to listen to radio/mp3.

i think even louder, or loser. long shots sound soooo much better with the "quiet baffle"not much quieter but much deeper and tighter sound.

I had the Samson True Duals with fishtails on my Heritage. They were the baffled ones and were not that loud at all. The baffle was non-removable and they had a very unique sound. I got compliments every where I went. I don't have a sound clip of them but wish I did. If you are talking about straight pipes with fishtail ends, yes, they are very loud.
