    just nabbed a mint 99 marauder. stock pipes are WAY to quiet

    I think mine were V&H and were straight through pipes. They were on it when I purchased it second hand. They were so loud. I liked them at the beginning but soon got sick of the noise and attention I was getting. Sold the bike after a couple of years.
