The world would be a boring place if we were all the same.

it might be boring, but at least all the parts would interchange...

(no more having to find an exact match for kidneys, livers, hearts and such)

Personally, I like my loud pipes, but I understand they're not for everyone.  Isn't it great that we're all different?  The world would be a boring place if we were all the same.

I love my V&H longshots..

Loud pipes save lives..

And bright flashing lights, loud sirens, good brakes, empty highways, and girls in short skirts..well maybe not the girls..unless they are doctors or nurses..

I like my after market pipes but during my Iron Butt ride last year the noise got old at around the 14 hour mark.  With 2 more Iron Butt rides planned for this year I was thinking about throwing the stock exhaust back on.

Heresy! Lunacy! Quieter pipes? What's next? Shorter skirts? Smaller boobs? Smaller engines? Less ponies?
Well, I like 'em loud, short, large, big blocks with lots of ponies. Just a little poke at those who like 'pokies'. Hee-hee.

I'm older now, but "there can still be only one"!! By the way, anyone seen an authentic Japanese katana laying around here anywhere??

You TOTALLY get a "like" for that!

JC Whitney sells baffles; not sure of quality or fitment, but worth a look.

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!
