yeah the cobra pipes are much louder than the stockers. stock pipes are on to meet noise and emmision requirements and really choke the engine. you can find other pipes and combined them with different baffles to reduce to overall volumn of the exhaust note.
can't talk to the vibration, it is a v-twin motorcycle with a single pin crank that by its design is going to vibrate. yes, there are vibration dampeners in the motor. My 1500 classic vibrates a bit but I can see whats in my mirrors.
good luck with your decision, the meanie is a fine machince and i've not found anyone on this board who thought it was a bad decision to buy
