I thought the same thing, going by the ad description.
There is no way to describe them other than as being very LOUD. Frankly, I don't see how straight pipes could be any louder.
Do they sound good? Yes. And, they are attractive, but they are LOUD. I wish V&H would offer baffles, or some other mod, that would make them half as loud. I could live with that.
I am amazed at how good the engine sounds while idling. That is something I did not expect. However, driving down the road, I realized that if I didn't start wearing ear protection, my hearing was going to degrade even further than it is now.
I'm not bagging on V&H. I just wish they offered these pipes with a similar sound (tone), but at a lower volume. Or, offered optional baffles to quiet them down.
Others have stated that they consider the Cruzers perfect as they are.
