Maybe those boys were looking at that bike because they can't help it...lol I know how you feel. I think mine are pretty darn loud.  At least i my neighbors are cpl hundred feet away.  But I feel embarrassed sometimes too, I ride with ear buds in most of the time.  It definitely has a wide range of sounds.

Thanks Troll for the great response!  I'll keep looking for something that will meet my needs to tone it down.

I bought my '01 with the same straight pipes you have. I was embarrassed to ride it. I work part time weekends at an Army Base, and the gate guard, as well as the M.P. Patrol guys always looked at me funny.....I usually leave at 5:30 am on Sat. and Sun. to go to work, so I had to just about idle all the way to the main road....neighbors, ya know. I found a Cobra "peace pipe" on eBay, and that's been on for 30,000 miles now. MUCH improvement. I have a friend who put those pipes on her 1500 Vulcan, and 2 sets of baffles, end to end...she went back to the stock exhaust. There was a complete Drifter system on eBay, last week. Went for $152.50...almost $2500 in parts!  Keep looking for people selling used parts, you might get lucky. Keep in mind, the Vulcan 1500 systems will all fit, with a little modding of the right hand passenger peg mount.

Would anyone know where I can purchase a pair of silencers or mufflers for the Vanes & Hines straight shots I have on my 2001 Drifter 1500?  I installed new baffles which really didn't quiet them down much.  I contacted V&H and they tell me they do not have anything quieter.
Thanks in advance for any information or directions would be appreciated!
