| I went with V&H Straight Shots and a PCIII. I love the sound of my pipes on the M50. They are loud, but have a great tone. They don't seem as loud as some Cobras I've heard, but I think they have a better growl. I removed the baffles, and didn't notice a difference, so I put them back on. If you are looking to save a little, you may consider V&H Cruzers. They cost the same as Straight Shots, but the SS's you can buy optional tips for. You will be tempted to try a pair (at around 45-50). If they change the sound, you'll buy another pair to see what they sound like. Eventully you'll shell out about a c-note on the billet tips. Do you plan on modifying the intake? If not, you can see how you run w/o a processor. The TFI on the group buy is by far your best bargain, but I happen to love the PCIII. But there again, you will spend more for the PCIII, and you can figure on tacking on another $250 to have the bike custom mapped on a dyno.
