I just ordered these today after much on-line research.  I have never heard them in person so I very hopeful they are much louder than my stock pipes. The stock pipes are so quiet it really doesn't even sound like a Harley.

The DNT's will be going on my 2013 Road Glide Custom CVO FLTRXSE2, Roman Gold and Emerald Green.  I got the 4" chrome straight slip-ons with black end caps so they will look as much like my stock pipes as possible.  Next month I plan to add a Power Commander 5 and have a dyno tune done.  Bike is stock other than a few minor accessories, so this will be my first performance mods.  You guys think I'm on the right rack ?

Got em on, look cool as hell and sound great. Bike is going into get dyno'd this week so we will see. Compared to what I took off these are a definite upgrade even though I know the vance and Hines cost more.

Chad if you could post a dyno sheet afterwards that would be great

Yep will post them when I get it done, hopefully the weather will be better than they forecast for the end of the week so I can get it there, I think my head pipes are vance and Hines. They are single pipes and I ended up putting 18 mm bungs up towards the heads as the tuner said it would be best.

Got some on my bike. Nice deep sound. Maybe a little loud. Sounds good on highway.

So I phoned Bassani the other day to get some more insight into the baffle size. I realize it's a 3 step baffle, but wanted to know the diameters. Like I said before, a lot of these new mufflers have 3" cores which is way too big for our bikes when running a catless headpipe- I think they are coming up with larger core mufflers for use on stock catted pipes, but don't mention this fact because they wouldn't want to lose half their sales of the guy who are running the catless pipes.

Anyways, the guy wasn't the most pleasant or helpful. He didn't know the diameters, so eventually he reluctantly went and measured them.

He told me it starts at 1.75" of perforated pipe, then 1/8" larger section of straight pipe, then a bit bigger at the end, of louvered pipe.

I may not remember it exactly, but it was something like that. I would have written it down, but I kind of lost interest because of his attitude, plus I wasn't convinced the info he was giving me was 100% accurate.

I don't know what these would be like for performance compared to say, my 4" Rineharts which perform well. I'll likely wait till I see somebody's dyno charts with them, or see some kind of slip-on comparison.
