Default Question for Rush Slip-On owners

Alright, I got HD slip-ons thrown in by the dealer when I bought the bike. After break in they actually aren't that bad, but still not enough for me.

From everything I have read and heard, Rush are awesome (and really cheap). Are you guys satisfied to the point where you aren't looking to buy a full system? I just don't want to spend $250 more and then still want something else. Thanks for the help.

I love mine...I like the way the stock exhaust looked...the Rush slip-ons keep that stock look, but now you can hear the bike.

The 1.75's I have are plenty loud. I don't like obnoxiously loud bikes.

I liked them so much that when I put cams in this spring I though about changing, but after looking and listening to others I stayed with them...

The cams made them even better, they just sound like U can hear them firing better and its with more authority since the cams
the 2" is perfect for these almost 60 yr old ears, they have a really good deep rumble at idle and at steady speed not to loud as Grandma & I can talk to each other easy, but when U nail it I don't think many other have the great deep roar they have,,

My son has had V&H's BR2-2 on his 07 Duece and V&H's BSL's on his 09 NT and he still talks about how sweet the rush sound,,
They will not perform as well as a 2-1 system, and I figure I lost 2-4 #'s TQ and Hp, but I didn't want to give them up just for better numbers for something I never heard and didn't like the sound or looks of.

Thumbs up

I love mine I put a set of 2.0 on my Deuce and they sound great. I did not notice a big increase in performance but that is not what I was looking to get. I did not like the sound of the stock pipes. I also did not need to remap running stock air cleaner and stock FI.
I have over 8,000 miles on mine so far I recommend Rush.
Good luck

I had the 1.75 installed on my standard. I loved the sound, they ARE great, cheap alternatives. However, my buddy I ride with on the regular got a set of big radius and mine just didn't feel adequate anymore. I stepped up to some Hookers, Rush are sittin in the garage.

Rush are awsome for performance, sound and price. Mine turned brown where they go to the header pipe. Other that that they are great.

I've got the 1.75" on the OL's '09 Deluxe.

I love the way they sound.

I am thinking of putting them on my Heritage, too.
