Europipe exhaust loud vs quiet

I'm trying to decide between the Loud or the quiet exhaust from Europipe. Anybody in San Diego or Orange county or ? have the loud version.? If so, I would really appreciate it if we can meet so I can hear it in person. Like everybody else I'm looking for that right sound and I prefer to buy the exhaust one time. Thank you.

Exhaust sound is subjective to what YOU like.

Listen to them both and make your own decision.

The Quiet has a nice sound as does the Loud. Both way better than stock...

Hard to tell the difference between the Loud and the Quiet on the Europipe website videos.

no... neither one. That's why you pay $5K to get one on.

My well used Europipe stage II quiet drones when cruising from 1700 - 2400 rpm.

I have the loud version and love it. However, if it is a daily driver then you may want to reconsider the loud. It does drone at about 90 mph cruising speed but I love it.

I have the Quiet and it does get louder with time. No droning at all. The quiet is enough for me. You really have to listen. I bought the quiet because I was worried how loud it would be so I took a chance with the quiet and I am happy. I would say it is almost twice as loud qas the stock once it is warmed up. I am in NJ if you want to hear it

I have the quiet on my GT2 and like it. I think the loud and quiet are about the same until you hit 5,500 RPM when the Loud gets louder. Otherwise the db ratings are very close.

Some addl. noise between 1,700 and 2,400, don't know what you would call it, but low pitch rumble that disappears by dropping a gear. 90 mph in 6th gear will produce this rumble. It is not a bad sound, just louder.

I would get the quiet again.

I Agree ..... my Europipe Stage II Quiet is not Quiet any more !!

I had TUBI before, but it was too loud for me.
