 Yup,
Boarzillas make power, but are so damn loud they make my Guppy seem mild.
Been saying it for a decade, as guys try to "make big power", but don't really understand the cost-in local neighborhood noise complaints, LEO, rider discomfort (like the OP), etc.
Years ago, I went back in forth with an "internet expert" here, who said he tours with a Boarzilla......but when pressed, admitted "he avoided local small towns"-really? What the hell kind of touring bike is that?
Anyway, as you and many others have found out, long term, this pipe is simply not worth the hassle in our new world.....on a regular, daily driven basis.
Good luck.

Something must be wrong with my 120/Boarzilla setup on my Dyna, I really don't find it that loud ??

Huge difference in reflected sound between a Street Glide fairing and what you are running.
Ignorance is bliss, and accuracy expensive. How much of either can you afford?

.... or your ears are already shot out.  Hmmmmm, maybe you need more compression.  :wink:

I have a Zilla on my 124" and a Fatcat on my 96" bike, neither are super loud unless you twist your wrist a lot. I've never been stopped for noise, stopped for other things, but never noise.         :speaker:

:agree:   But the poor old thing struggles to start as is, Carb', around 200 ccp, Larry's heads at 92cc .

Same here. I have a Zilla on my 124" with the wrapped baffles. I tour 25,000-30,000 miles a year on it without ringing ears. I can also coast into my condo late during the week working second shift, and don't feel like I'm really much of a disturbance. I'd consider my exhaust one of the quieter units amongst my friends.
