Changing Only Mufflers~Do You Need Fuel Management or High Flow Filter??
Hi guys,
I have a 2010 Heritage and the staggered pipe look is starting to grow on me....If I only change the mufflers, do I need a fuel management systems and or a high flow kit? I hear conflicting reports...
Also, it is an easy install? In other words I do not have to worry about the sensors.......is it the only loosening the muffler clamp, taking the old one off and putting the new one on?
Also, does anyone have a suggestion on a good sounding pipe...
thanks....

Mufflers only=no
Mufflers are very easy to swap. "They" recommend new clamps, but I've used mine on 2 different swaps and they work fine. I also use copper high heat silicone sealer to stop any leaking, which leads to decel pop and possible discoloration at the joint.
Good sounding is all relative, I prefer Vance and Hines and BUB. Quiet baffles with any muffler give a nice low growl at idle but allow bark on accel.
How Ya liking that new Heritage. I myself am giving a slight consideration to jumping back on a Softy. It's a big maybe, but stranger things have happened.

I have these on my new '09 Custom: http://vanceandhines.com/products/st...s-slipons.html
Inexpensive, quick installation, and sound great. No fuelling changes or intake changes needed.

Look at the Rush slip-ons they are popular and sound great. Also here is a link to a post explaining what "I" did and the results.

Go with Rush, they are great. I would recommend a high flow and a download, but many have not and say they have no problems. They do not "slip on" like they say, but still not very difficult. Takes a little muscle and wiggle to get the stock off and the new ones on.
Twisted125 is selling Rush 2" baffles for $150. Great deal and I can say because I have them that you will not regret it.

Seems like everybody likes V & H or Rush,. My H Dealer only had D & D slip on's so that's what I got on my 07 Fatboy. I have been told by several people they sound good, but to me they sound to mid/low. not just low sound.

I've talked to two dealers and Rush. They all said that the slip-ons will require no tuning. I'm picking up my new mufflers in the morning and will have them on tomorrow. Looking forward to the change. I bought Rush with 1 3/4" baffles. The quality of them looks great and they have a great selection of baffles.
