Which is louder Rinehart Td (standard baffle) or a thunderheader at cuise? at WOT?  thanks for the input.

Thunderheaders are pretty damn loud at wot but they have a awesome sound .

Thunderheader hands down

Ar ethe rineharts any deeper or just quieter?

I have rhinehart TD on my 95" 03 RK,(standard baffle), and my son has the Thunderheaders TD on his 07 96" street glide.To me they are same at WOT (loud) just a different tone. Howerever at idle the thunderheaders are louder, and a deeper sound. If I had to choose one, it would be a coin toss.

More street riding around town, Rinehart eliminates the torque dip at low RPM.  More highway riding and flatout WOT Thunderheader for the HP.

The guys I ride with that have RHtd's all have a rattle, like the baffle is loose.

A screaming wife. Oh, and the Thunderheader at WOT.

I don't think there is a pipe out there louder than Thunderheader that actually serves a function for torque--perhaps D&D Race Baffle would give Thunderheader stiff competition..

At idle or anything short of WOT between Thunderheader and Rinehart, I'd say Thunderheader. At WOT it's a toss-up, Rinharts are frickin loud as "Potty mouth" too--perhaps Thunderheader has a very slight edge at WOT.

A buddy of mine is running TH and I told him that I can't ride behind him for long periods of time because his pipes gives me a headache, literally. Thunderheaders are the only pipes that do this to me.

D&D Boarzilla with standard baffle will make a T-header sound quiet. At least on the big inch motors.

Think of it this way: Many have said once going the T/D from 2into1 the exhaust was louder. Same bike/build -  two 3" noise outlets are louder than one 3" outlet.
