Just want to know. What mufflers you are putting on your trikes? I want something with a little more noise to it. Jerry
 
I run Rhinehart true-duals with quiet baffles in the mufflers behind my 110. It was a little too loud with the standard baffles, but has a nice rumble after installing the quiet baffles.:D

I put on 4" SE Touring Mufflers with the revolver end caps. They have a nice deep rumble to them. I am not into loud noise for hour after hour of freeway riding. They will bark if you twist the throttle.
 
Went to stock Harley Dyna Glide mufflers on my VTX 1300. The police in our neck of the woods are proactively enforcing decibel levels (I believe 85 decibels max) on bikes and mine was way too loud (cycle shacks). I still think she sounds nice but now my wife and I can actually speak to each other.......hmmmmm, is that good or bad :)

Oh, and after last two fill ups I am noticing a nice increase in mpg's.....40 mpg last tank from 36 mpg with the cycle shacks.....

Thats okay. The increase in MPG was caused by either you not twisting the throttle as much because of the lower sound or the added back pressure makes the bike perform better.
