My 103 will run right through. Haven't set a limiter but it is on the list... :slap:

Running the Kuryakyn Mellow's.  They are supposed to be a quiet performance muffler but they are still a little loud for me.  On a long trip/ride, i generally use ear plugs to quiet the drone or ear buds with music.  No way I can comfortably hear the speakers due to wind and engine noise.
We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

I have Screaming Beagle on my "not so power oriented" 106" lil' strokie. Taken off 110 CVO.

I know that they are not performance type. But i allready have hearing aid and tinnitus, both ears. And like hear music, i play saxes. Earlier i had Vance&Hines, but then i had wear ear plugs, not any more.

:up:  same here.

One more for ear plugs.

IMO, the constant wind noise kills our hearing as much as loud exhaust.
I am an adult?? When did that happen, and how do I make it stop?!

More so. At least for me. I wound up with tinnitus at  6 or 7 due to a high fever. But my hearing loss is due to wind noise from motorcycles and loud noise from years of construction work. I wish I had started wearing hearing protection decades ago.

Greetings,

I'm on a 2013 Switchback and currently running a V&H ProPipe w/ quiet baffle.  Prior to the quiet baffle install, performance was good, but too loud.  Since quiet baffle install, performance is neutered a bit, but volume is good.

Any recommendations for an exhaust that provides performance and low noise?

So was this performance difference prior and after baffle change a seat of the pants measurement and no tuning involved? And if so are you looking for better non-tuned, seat of the pants quiet performance in another exhaust system?

I'm starting to wear ear plugs a lot more often now, but holy moly when I forget them it sounds like my motor is coming apart.

Isn't that the truth. After riding for a couple of hours with earplugs, pull into town, take them out and oh my what a racket. What bugs me is you can open the hood of any U.S. made push rod V8 and barley hear a thing. Why can't Harley quiet down the mechanical racket their engines make. I like my bike but I absolutely hate the racket coming from the engine and i am not talking about the exhaust. I test rode both a Triumph and a Moto Guzzi when I bought my Slim.They were pretty quiet, especially the Triumph.
