NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
How could you rid of Propipe...the most badass of the pipes :P
As for the video mate, first thing to massively improve the quality of it is to record it away from garage/walls/etc.... echo kills it. When you're revving it sounds like someone's trying to fire up a petrol lawnmover that's because the sound bounces off everything around.
Also, where you placed the camera, you'll always suffer from audio cutting out tones to compensate for increased noise when you rev (I did that mistake on my videos)... placing the camera a bit to the side will improve it.
Get her out in the open and record again.

Must be truthful here and say that I love the look of straight shots but I always think that straight through pipes sound shit, they are too raspy for my liking

They look very nice, first dibs on the pro pipes

3rd time lucky! Ah that's better, I'm upright and the sounds quite good I took the baffles out and removed the wadding, They were way to quiet for my liking!, without the baffles they're loud! and quite a nice sound, but it would be to much over any sort of distance I think. I could be imagining it? The bike seemed more torquey low down, but had less get up and go at higher revs compared to the Pro Pipe.

Same as mine but I've got Vortex hot tips on mine too.
They sound very nice! I take it your running them without baffles? I took all the packing off the baffles but they don't sound as loud as that that, I did try them without baffles but never went for a spin.
