I don't like a loud exhaust. I had the TEC stainless slip ons and felt they were too loud, even with the db killers in, and horrible without them. Plus, the bike ran worse, couldn't pull over 90 mph, and sounded like an out of tune sax. I like the way my bike runs with the stock exhaust, and it's quiet on a long day in the saddle, so it's not a bother. However, I'd love to shed a few pounds from the bike, but really don't want something that's going to be intrusive on an all day ride. A bit of rumble is nice, but a droning sound in the helmet is bad, makes me tired and cranky.
So, how does your TEC 2-1 with the quiet baffle compare to stock, or your S&S cans with the db killers?
Any other configurations that I might consider?
Thanks!
