Richard-

I'd say they're definitely not as quiet as stock, but most have observed that the Supersprints are on the more sedate end of the continuum (vs: Dinan, Kelleners, B&B, G-Power, etc). It does seem that they're more 'authoritative' at Wide Open Throttle than even the B&B's were. And they are more subdued at lower RPMs.

I'd strongly suggest sampling some of the video clips referenced on this board for some decent (limited as they are) comparisons. There were meets in South FL, Boston, and Atlanta that shot video and posted the results. Try searching for those.

And yes, the graininess in the photos is merely because I haven't washed my poor Beast since the new pipes came. It's road spray, and nothing more. I expect these tips to maintain their factory look for quite a while!!
