| Kpark I'm wondering if you think that they are too loud? Can you still hear the radio without blasting it? |

Kpark I'm wondering if you think that they are too loud? Can you still hear the radio without blasting it? I can hear the radio fine. Still get a big grin every time I twist the throttle. Love these pipes .  |

| Thanks for the info Kpark! I think I have it narrowed down to either the RPW's or the D and D's. There's only one sound bite of the D and D's though so I'm not sure they'll be loud enough. Has anyone heard them? |

| Did they give you plenty of sound? I added the stage 1 kit when I got my XC and well a guy on a espa scooter makes more noise.....Slight exageration but close. I know slip ons won't add much in the way of power but some volume with a touch of power would be great
Thanks

Fountain Inn, SC United States | You might consider doing the mod that many Vision owners are talking about and sounds awesome....replace the stock slip-ons with Thrush glasspacks. Cheap $$, throaty sound.
Here'a link to the thread:

Here's a few videos:

| Thanks for the idea. I never heard doing that. Do you know if the glass packs are designed for this or just general packs?

I believe they are general-use. You can get them in different lengths and pipe diameters. And they're cheap, like around $28/ea! |

Tucson , AZ | We offer Arlen Ness Big Honkers... I have some on my vision.. I think they have the deepest rumble on the market. Everyone has a favorite... its the sound you are looking for. My bike roars from idle all the way up.. nice deep tone.
We can offer them to our members here at cross riders for a discount. Send me an email if you are interested.

MA | I just installed some D&D's on my bike. Quality muffler. Haven't had a chance to road test yet, but I really like the way they sound. If you want a sound bite, go to the D&D website and look under products for the XC/XR, they have one there. |

Fostoria Ohio USA | I am going with (already ordered) the D&Ds. The 2 videos I have seen online sounded very good, but not window rattling loud. The one reviewer said the quality of the chrome and the welds was excellent and besides that D&D has an excellent reputation and will stand behind their products. They aren't cheap at $630 a pair on Ebay but I guess you get what you pay for. |

Wellston, Ohio | Quick question, does the bike need to be reflashed or is a fuel controller required to minimize popping on decel? I know once you begin to make mods to your bike you are on the slippery slope of the money pit... |

Fostoria Ohio USA | I've been down that road called the performance money pit and it's EXPENSIVE!! The bad part is you'll never get a penny for it when the time comes to sell or trade the bike. I would say the most economical route is the reflash at your dealer. Once you get into aftermarket fuel controllers like Power Commanders etc. and dyno time which is high dollar you're already on that slippery slope. It's really a matter of how much performance you are willing to pay for in the end. |
