I've been looking into doing an exhaust upgrade for my 04 XB12R. At first I was just going to buy the race kit from Buell with the aircleaner, pipe, and ECM. It seems like lots of people here are fans of the D&D, but I'm a little leary of going that route. I got a D&D for the Yamaha I used to have because I got a good deal and it was obnoxious. I don't want to have the same results again. Thoughts? Thanks! |

I had the D&D and it was loud, but no louder than the guys with str8 pipes on their harleys. Idling, mine sounded just like a soprty with str8s. I liked the D&D alot. I got rid of the D&D in favor of the new force pipe, we'll see how that works out in the next 2 weeks. |

I love my D&D. Don't be worried about the sound. The D&D's for the yamaha are a whole different animal. I agree the are annoying but on the twin they are sweet music. p.s. the video of the XB12 on the D&D websight don't do it justice. |

Odies muffler sounds great, if you don't mind a little volume. It is really crisp, like a gnarley sounding sportster that has been built for power. |

I have an '04 12R with race ecm, K&N filter, drilled A/B and a drummer. Sounds good, runs great. Have put about 4K on the bike in this configuration, absolutely no problems or complaints |

The Drummer isn't much at all louder then the race kit.Even the louder version isn't a whole lot louder then the standard Drummer unless all the packing is out and thats not good. |

Why does this topic keep coming up every two weeks? Must be alot of new people coming to the board or alot of forgetfull people. |

It's definately not obnoxious. Loud enough to wake the neighbors at 5 in the morn, or startle the driver in the box next to you. I would say it is what the bike "should" sound like stock. I can hear it when I ride, and I can still hear people talk to me after riding for several hours. Depends on who, or "How", you want to impress I guess. |
