I really like the sound of the straights. Its enough to make a bit of a ruckus, but not too much so that your neighbors hate you. My neighbor has told me that when i pull up he can hear me but, the noise isn't intrusive and often he doesn't even notice it if the TV or music is going in his house. To me, that's the perfect volume for a guy in the suburbs.
For reference, the fully gutted stock pipes and the V&H Straight Shots with factory baffles have about the same volume. The V&H sound a little deeper though.
