I am trying to decide what mufflers I should buy to replace my Samson Ovals. Now that I've put V&H true dual dresser headers on my bike, it is about 50 percent louder than with the stock headers and the Samsons and that takes the sound to the obnoxious level. I like loud pipes but this is too much. I liked my Samsons with the stock headers, but not anymore.
I'm looking at V&H mufflers and I'm trying to decide between the Monster Oval and the regular Oval. I've been told the Monster Ovals weigh 12 pounds a piece (24 pounds total) so that seems like a lot of weight to add to the back of the bike. The Monsters are more expensive too. With the true duals I expect the sound will still be relatively loud compared to stock exhaust systems, but since the V&H has chambered baffles, it shouldn't be as loud as my Sampsons which are just straight through pipes with glass packs I guess.
How much difference is there between the Monster Ovals and the regular V&H Ovals? Will the regular ovals give me a nice Harley sound?
