Hmm, I love the tone of my MO's, but actually wish they were a bit quieter.

To each their own.

at this time, no matter what you get it is gonna be quiet. if you want to wake up the sound, you are gonna have to get rid of the headpipe with the cat in there.

before you give up on the monster ovals, maybe you should hear what they sound like on a true dual system minus the cat.

That is exactly what I was going to say.... If you look at this link you will get a better understanding about what is going on in front of your mufflers.

I like my MO's but I can see where they may not be all that for everyone. I wanted to hear the radio in this bike so I didn't want them super loud. With the cams in there and 10,000 miles on them they have gotten louder.

I had some V&H big radius on my fatboy and loved the sound of them. Is there anyone out there that is looking for some New Vance and Hines Monster Ovals? Thanks and be safe guys.
Vance and hines stated the monster ovals are the quietest out of the crew i run slip ons and they pack a good tone but go with big shots to get more sound, what ever suits your fancy.

I run the Rush 2 1/4 slip-ons, they have a very nice deep rumble and after a few thousand miles, cams, and some dyno runs, the packing burns out a little and they growl real good runnin through the R's. I don't think they are the loudest, but they are not too far off.. Good luck

P.S. The cat in the head pipe is going to make a big difference in sound.. True duels on a dresser??? I have been told, you will lose low end torque. Many dyno guys are saying the stock 09 head pipes retain the backpressure just enough to keep the low end torque up, especially with the wide open mufflers that I have.... But then again, what's low end torque got to do with you blasting past your buddy that thinks his bike is faster? JMO

If you want good deep throated Harley growl that will bring down a bridge if you roll the throttle on under it, get in touch with Jamie at Fuelmoto and buy a set of Dyna Tuned Jackpot's. only 299.00 plus 18.00 shipping. Best sounding and best quality bar none.
