How loud are these? (Scale of 1-10)

@vela75 I would say 8, maybe 8,5 if the stock is 1 and the sleepers are 10.

In my opinion it's a loud but civilized sound, if you cruise around town at 2000rpm you get hardly noticed, if you go full throttle at 8000rpm the sounds is exeptional!

Thanks! Now when it it idling, how much louder do think they are than stock?

@vela75 i believe not more than 20% than stock pipes, deeper sound but not louder...

Vela75 had a question close to my thoughts. I saw you, seblog are from italy. Are the legal there?? Come from germany and think, it should now be everywhere the same in EU.

It's difficult to tell you how much louder than stock pipes, i would say "quite a lot...but not so loud to be disturbing to others" especially if you cruise around town.

Of course when accelerating hard they make some great noise...

the best advice is to hear them by yourself from some friends or a bonnie owner group if you have the possibility

enjoy your Bonnie!

Those Togas sound so great. I have a 2008 Black Bonnie, and am trying to decide whether to get these or the British Custom Sleepers. I know the Togas are much louder than the stock pipes, but how much louder? I don't want to get pipes that are obnoxiously loud. I'm just tired of the stock "sewing machine" sound. :)

Thanks!
