Default Mufflers - LOOKING FOR '"THE SOUND" please read and help!!

Mother of god.............I cannot find a good toned down exhaust note I am looking for! I have a 06 Roadglide with True dual headpipes, SE intake, TFI module, andrews cams, and currently Supertrapp SE Elite (old SE) mufflers. I have had Rinehart which I switched for Kuryakyn crushers and they were o.k. but gradually became louder and more annoying. I then a couple months ago put on these Supertrapps and they sounded nice and low the first couple rides but have gotten gradually louder again. I know onthere site they say only 3db louder than stock but these are way louder now.

I am looking for a happy medium with a little louder than stock but not this loud. As far as I know these Supertrapps are supposed to be the next quietest thing to stock but if they are still to loud and I don't want stock what do I do?? The only other thing I can think of is I know my current mufflers are the "old" Sceaming eagles and the newer screaming eagle mufflers # 64985-07 made by whoever should be quieter....no? I thought the newer generation of Screaming Eagles were quieter to "noise pollution" laws.

HERES THE BIG QUESTIONS............ Who here has the new screaming eagle "street" 4" slip ons on there bike with true duals and also if you have had any different mufflers before like the supertrapps, or rinehart. I have also heard of some guys putting fullsack cores in the 09 factory mufflers that come on the SE touring models too. Anyone know how loud of a change that is? I have heard the SE touring bikes with factory mufflers and they are definetly too quiet for me. I know exhaust is a funny bugger to deal with but mainly I am looking for the next quietest thing to stock that still performs.

Thanks in advance!

Find a local hangout or event that will have lots of bikes present and listen. Ask enough questions to make sure the owners don't have a setup much different from yours. No one else can know what is or isn't too loud for you. I have the SE touring slipons on my '07 FLHTC and they are just loud enough so I like them for an all day ride and the wife doesn't complain. I've got V&H basic slipons on my souped-up Roadking and they are a bit much for touring to ME, someone else may like them just fine for touring.

Default Supertrapp Fatshots

I had a set of the Fatshots on my 107 ultra and they were NOT loud with 10 disc's per side and they had a deep sound to them.
