Why would you want squiet side piped. Heck that is why people paid extra for the option so they could look cool and be heard loudly

I get it, especially now that i am older. I like a nice medium tone. What are your current pipes? Are you sure they are originals OEM pipes or original style sound like the ones allen's and sweet thunder make? Huge difference between the non oem sound pipes and oem sound. Sweet thunder and allens also make the louder pipes. The difference is in the shape of the louvers. Can opener size louvers=very loud Small Cheese grater size louvers=original style and much more tame sound.
