I was close to buying that same set-up. Interesting that the Pro Touring were too loud. I ended up going a whole different direction, but, still have that combo as my second choice!

Let us know how the 4" work out for you.

 

I put 5K miles on a set of PT pipes but they ended up getting too loud for me as well. Jamie swapped me out my used pipes for a set of 4" Jackpot pipes and paid shipping both ways, talk about CS!

I liked the 4" Jackpots sound, maybe a tad bit too quiet for me, but I also preferred the looks of the Pro Touring pipes better. Something with sound in between the two setups would be perfect for me.

Currently on the hunt for exhaust for my new bike.......

 

I'm in the same boat.....have the 4.5 pipes and they are loud. I've had 'em on for quite a while now but I had voiced the same concern to him a while back and he agreed to switch 'em out. I really should do so. I love the look, just not the ringing ears

 

Anyone got a set to sell?

 

I really like the 4.5 inch Jackpot Pro pipes! Little thump, bass, somewhat louder than stock.

Under 100 miles, I wear no ear plugs. Over that, I wear 'em to cut down on wind blast mostly.

 

I have the 3.5" Dyno Tuned Jackpots. Not loud at all! I'm using the Cobra Powerport head pipes.

 

I'm waiting for the exact same set up. Been waiting close to three months, should be here soon.. I like loud, as long as there is no thumping or hammering like my old SE's with racing baffles used to do.

 

I think my Jackpots are too quiet. I'm hoping that will change when the headers get her, but overall they are not much louder than stock.

 

I also have the jackpot 2-1-2 header with the Pro-Touring muffs. Absolutely love em. Don't know why some think they are loud. There are plenty of pipes out there that are tons louder as far as my hearing goes. Hearing is pretty subjective.

I can carry on a conversation through my helmet microphone on the cell phone and no one can hear the bike at all. My brother, a Road King owner, can't even tell I am on the bike when he calls me.

I can hear the stereo just fine over the system speakers or in the helmet, makes no difference.

I've had SE mufflers, Rineharts, several stock configurations, and I don't believe the FMPT pipes are any louder than the SE or the Rineharts. A lot of your sound will depend upon your tune, cams, etc. They just sound different...very low tone on start-up, smooth rumble at cruise speeds, nice "jake brake" sound on decel until the compression releases open, cool growl between gears. These are open, free flowing mufflers.

Can you tell I like 'em?

PS...the fit and finish is about as good as I have ever seen on a muffler.
