There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I am new as well so Welcome.
i agree with the tame sound so after a bunch of research I am going with the following this winter. Pay close attention to the description on MFG's websites. Some show for 2013 and up and have a 2012 picture. If you search for a 14-15 the info is more accurate. 2013 the frame changed along with the exhaust. It was very confusing for me at first till I learned a little more in what you can use year wise for parts that fit / don't fit.

What do your neighbors think about it?

They had some smoking hot deals during Homecoming on RS parts including Akropovic exhaust. Check with your dealer to see if they can get you one at a good price.

Hi, depending on how loud you are thinking I have had the two brothers and the tailgunner.... I actually sold the two brothers because I wanted more sound. Tailgunner is the way to go if you want it quite a bit louder than stock

Nearest neighbor is half a mile away. I live on 80 acres about 15 minutes from the city.

I'm leaning towards the Two Brothers setup because I like the look better. Amazing how they can charge so much but I guess that is just the way it is. Wondering about this statement in the installation instructions:
Repack Carbon Fiber and Titanium mufflers every 10 hours, repack Aluminum mufflers every 15 hours.
What does that mean?

I put on an HMF as well on my wife's old GS. She loved the sound. The nice thing about HMF is that they are really inexpensive.
If you want cheaper than that then go to AliExpress and get one of he Chinese knock offs. Usually $30-$60 and, surprisingly, made with really good materials.

Glad you went with the Two Bros. I have duel Two Bros on my GS and love the rumble.
You forgot to read the caveat at the bottom of the page. Something like "For racing or off road purposes only." Yeah, I like to race, but 10 to 15 hours is a lot of racing time.
The Two Bros mufflers are glass packed pipes. Over time, with the heat of the exhaust going through them, the glass pack starts to erode. Depending on how aggressive you ride, you can repack them sooner or later. For me, when the rumble changes and Hubby starts complaining about the noise, I repack mine. Not that hard to do and the kits are cheap. Don't believe the YouTube videos about throwing out the metal mesh guard.
The carbon fiber and titanium pipes are softer that the aluminum pipes. I have carbon fiber ones and went too long between repacks once. The carbon fiber tubes were starting to go and I had to replace them. Lesson learned...

Yes, I did read up on the repacking procedure. That is one of the main reasons that I did not want to go with the carbon fiber ones. I think/hope these aluminum ones may get louder but hopefully it won't wreck anything.
