louder pipes

i have a 2003 road king (police bike). it seems like every harley i meet or person i know that has a harley has a louder sound than mine. as far as i know it's stock pipes on there when i bought it from the dealer.is there something i can do to make a louder sound? i was told to drill holes in my pipes but i surely don't wanna do that.is there something i can do other than buy knew pipes?? thanks.

Guys I know ram a steel rod in the muffler and put holes in the baffles. Problem is that then they either have to retune the bike or watch the exhaust pipe turn blue. Bikes are tuned with the exhaust. Change one...change the other. If you have the Harley shop install different pipes they will also retune it.(or should)

thanks,think i'll punch small holes in my baffles and try the sound from it first,that way i can save 500 bucks on pipes even if i need a tune up.think i'll need a tune-up even if i have electronic-fuel-injectors??
