Question Sorry, but i had to

I just put in an order for the Dominator Sport exhaust from Southbay.

I have listened to and read all the reviews but everything is still inconclusive.

I want loud, but not "I can't hear my iPod when I am riding" loud

Or "I went for a ride, now I think I am deaf" loud.

Should I have Carlos change my order to the Touring?

PLEASE HELP.

Buy a Davida helmet.
No noise or deafness issues then!!
With helmet speakers you dont even have to turn the iPod volume up!

I have the touring and think they're loud enough. You won't be disappointed with the tone of the touring models.

you'll be able to hear your tunes just fine.

I had the predators, which are the same as the Dom. Sports, and now I have Bubs which are much louder, and I can hear my mp3 player just fine.

I vote for sticking with the "sports".

Stick with the Sports

J you will be stoked with the Sports. They sounds great, good volume but not obnoxiously loud. Sorry we did not hook up before making up your mind so you could hear them in person but it sounds like you were able to make a decision anyhow.

Let me know when your kit comes and/or if you have any questions with the install. I'd be happy to drink a beer and watch you do the work.

Cheers!
