I am about to purchase either a special ops, D&D or a Drummer exhaust for my 2007 XB12S, reviewed many units for power, torque, price, etc. YouTube has helped with providing sound of a run by for the Jardine, D&D and Drummer. I cannot find a good video of the special ops unit for sound other than sitting at idle, anyone have any ideas on which sounds the best. My vote so far has to be with the drummer with its deep sportster on steroids sound. D&D sounds pretty good too. I think the Jardine and Drummer SS look the best. | ||

Special Ops sound like a Sporty on steroids also. Produces great power, and gives me a grin every time I ride my '06 XB12SS. | ||

Anyone heard a Hawk Performance Pipe, can't find a sound bite except on the Hawk web site and it only has it at idle. | ||

I love the sound of my Race Can. The Ops would be what I installed if I didn't get the bike with the Race Can already installed. | ||

Unfortunately youtube videos do not do any pipe justice, you will need to hear them in person. Then it comes down to opinion. Out of the ones you listed, I liked the Drummer the best. The Micron full system is currently my pick. | ||

I have the Drummer and the Drummer SS. I like them both so much I wont sell the spare. | ||

Special OPS! Freakn love mine. Personally I think it sounds meaner/better then my 289 v8 mustang. | ||

Drummer SS all the way.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPo2HkitUlY | ||

VooDoo is out of business .  | ||

I know... I am happy with the pipe I bought from Jim and the one I helped my buddy cut up, with the plans from his website. Slowly we die...  | ||

I think the Latus sounds the best but it is also no longer available. Drummer would have been my second choice. This is not my youtube vid but this is how it sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_6ZxbcnCfU | ||

I have listened to a lot of them but my favorite is the D&D. Doesn't sound as much like a Harley as some of the others except at idle. I've had it on my bike for about a year and love it. | ||

+1 on the voo doo.I love the sound and power. They dont make XB's anymore either so a collector pipe on a collector bike.  | ||

I have a Hawk, and the sound is my favorite. It's easy to be quiet, and still is easy to be heard in the upper range. No loss of power anywhere. 05 XB12R Stock ECM, and air filter, but the airbox is drilled. | ||

Can anyone that has heard several of them in person comment? Describe the sound of each in terms of loudness(db/volume), tone/frequency, raspiness, etc? | ||

I can't compare. But, when I started my bike after installing the Drummer, I almost crapped my pants. I was not expecting the thunder that came out of my bike. It still puts a smile on my face. | ||

There is a guy in Georgia who I had talked to and was extremely nice and knowledgeable who did custom pipes. Does anyone know his name or the name of the pipes he makes? I thought they were Hawk performance, but I can;t remember. I lost his emails! | ||

Here is a video with sound of my pipes, they are the pro series pipes with race ECM. Video is not that great, but the sound is fairly close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-UMWuEcPeo | ||
| Gunut75 |
I thought they were Hawk performance It is Hawk Performance. Thats what I have. Love it. | ||

Is that exhaust shootout from americansportbike.com still around. It really helped me out when choosing one for my bike. A lot of good info available in there if its still around. | ||
| Onemeanbuell |
I am very happy with my D&D exhaust. I recommend it for sure  | ||
| Captcaz |
