So my two bros aluminums are on the way, but I'm wondering if you guys think that powertips are a must and which ones if so? I'm heading to deals gap here in a couple weeks and I don't wanna go deaf on the way. Kris
Do you think two bros requires powertips?

The pipes are pretty loud. If you want a silencer then use the newer P1X tip. They're about 35 buck each and provide a claimed 8 db of suppression.

Yes and Yes to the P1 tip.
Thanks to NH noise laws, I had to go all the way to the P4 tip. 
Still doesn't sound too bad though... and I can sneak by the LEOs easily. They didn't offer the P1X at the time of I'd have bought that one. I may end up with it instead since if is more db reduction.

I use the P1-X tips with mine. No complaints from the neighbors FWIW.

I got the P1 tips because I was worried my neighbors would complain since about 50% of my nearby neighbors are in there 80s. I really couldn't tell much of a difference in db. The tips did seem to deepen or richen the tone tho. I haven't taken them out since
Hope that helps.

def go for the tips, I'm using P1 tips which seem to mute them enough to make sure you get in to track days with sound restrictions but keep them loud enough to make you smile and let others know you're around!!:rockon:

Don't waste your money. I just installed my two bros exhaust two weeks ago and i absolutely love the way they sound. I had concerns about them being too loud pre-install, but after installing and hearing them in person, there's no way I would PAY MONEY to make them sound quieter.
The only reason I would install the tips is if 1) it's required by law (which it is not where I live) or 2) the sound was hurting my ears (which it definitely does not).
Slap those puppies on, and embrace the beautiful sound. You're gonna love going through tunnels/overpasses to hear the echo.
Regardless of what you decide, wait until you install them and give it a week before you decide to spend the money on the tips. There's no point in buying them ahead of time.
