The Eberspaecher's I put on mine are on the "church quiet" side of the decibel scale. I almost bought the Supersprint but the original mufflers lasted 10 years & decided not to go the extra expense. I forget who does it, but you can get the stock ones that have been cut open & had the baffles redone. That might strike the balance between church quiet & all-out loud Tri-Flo's.

For the 1st 500 miles, the Eberspaecher seem stuffy & was too quiet, but a few high speed extended roadtrips has opened them up quite a bit. They're still quiet at idle with a low rumble. The DME chip changed the mid & high tones & they don't sound or feel stuffy at all anymore, but it still has a turbine-like sound vs. a harsh exhaust tone. To do it again, I'd probably go with the Supersprint's.
