Hard Krome T-Rex True Duals.
I love my pipes but honestly, they are a bit too loud for me. I'm only 35 and in the military so I don't feel old. LOL Today me and a friend rode the long way home (just over an hour) and my head is hurting due to the noise. He was behind me and stated the same. Does anyone know if they make a quieter baffle for these pipes? I was next to a set of Rineharts and mine are much louder. I really have to baby it in the mornings when riding through my neighborhood.

ABnmarine,
As you know from using firearms, anytime you're reaching the threshhold of pain you are doing permanent damage to your ears. Cranking up the Hogtunes above your exhaust noise is just adding to that. I've noticed a lot of my buddies with loud pipes talk at the top of their lungs all the time even when it's quiet. Hearing loss? I've noticed some riders putting in ear plugs. Maybe they're the smart ones.
BTW, you've got a cute kid there. Starting her early, I see.

Thanks for the info. I was talking to someone here and they mentioned that there may be more room for additional packing material around the baffles. I'll pull them this weekend to check. I want to keep the pipes but they are just too loud for me. Riding with earplugs kind of defeats the purpose of the pipes.

You can put a disc in front of the baffle and that will quiet them down but that will affect performance. Check their website. They are working on another baffle to reduce the sound. In the interim enjoy the short runs and use ear plugs on the longer ones.

I wear electronic earplugs. Unless you look directly at my ears you will never know they are in. I have a tough time with wind noise on the highway and not the sound of the exhaust although I feel the T-Rex pipes are too loud for me. The electronic plugs cut out the high pitch of the wind and muffle the exhaust a little. I can still hear the radio just fine. I can even hear the OL talking, can't have everything. It might be something worth looking into. A friend of mine makes them for shooting sports. He makes them with or without the electronic device.

Riding with ear plugs does not defeat the purpose of the pipes. I use foam rubber plugs and still hear my exhaust. In fact it sounds deeper like I like it. I use the plugs to cut wind noise. The exhaust sound does not bother me with or without the plugs. It is behind me. I have a Hooker 2 into 1 Tuned-Flow exhaust.
I would like to hear more (no pun intended) about the electronic ear plugs.
