Tanks for the advice. I am not too keen on losing performance but it
may be the price I have to pay.

Similar to stock. If I romp it they have a nice rumble.
I'm pretty much done with loud. I like them.

I've run them for a couple of years now and for the same reason.
I got tired of replacing the glass in the V&H Classics I was
