Pipes too Loud after removeal of cat!
2014 Limited. when purchased I switched Jackpots over from my 2010. Sounded fine until I went with de-catted head pipe and tuner. Jackpots were too loud. For whatever reason, Jackpots were much quieter on my de-catted '10. Figured I go with some tame HD slip-ons. Got the Cannons but they are also too loud.
Any suggestions on quieter pipes?

It really depends on how quiet is quiet to you. If memory serves me correctly mufflers for 2010 and up are less restrictive because the cat is in the head pipe. Any mufflers made for theses years will be louder without a cat. Try looking / listening to CVO mufflers, S&S is supposed to have very quiet performance muffs, or Super Trapp internal disk mufflers.

They're too loud for me. I have to jack the radio up most all the way to hear the music.

V&H Power Duals on mine with V&H Monster Ovals. The Monster Ovals are deeper sounding than stock, a little louder but by no means a "loud" pipe. No droning tones on long rides, able to hear my radio easily with volume about halfway up. If you are around many bikes, especially with the holiday weekend coming up, take notice of what sounds right to your ear and see what they have installed.
See attached pic for what my Ovals look like.

I had Jackpots on my 2010 road king and they weren't that loud. But I can see them being louder on a 103 motor, and perhaps the twin cool is louder still. But I think you are already on the quiet end of the spectum unless you go with a factory muffler like a CVO takeoff. As noted above Supertrapp can be made very quiet by removing plates.
FWIW, the Big City Thunder QQ baffles really make a difference - might even bring sound down to stock levels on your bike. Joe
