Are you working on a stealth jackpot muffler like the Bub 7 FL Stealth that is 80db and has the certification stamped on it. Thanks
We are not currently working on any "stealth" or EPA certified mufflers primarily because when we are changing air cleaners and tuning products the bikes are no longer EPA compliant regardless and an EPA muffler is generally a compromise in both sound and performance. Actually, what we really need is a straight forward set of regulations that will stay in place for a set term and we we then build something. Actually, we have far more customers looking for the louder baffle option rather that a quieter baffle but we are certainly open to new offerings and note our primary focus with the Jackpot line is the offer the best possible performance with a rich, deep exhaust tone at a mild dB level.
I know this is reverse to most of the demand, but anything in the works for a 2 into 1 system for the 09?
I left this out of our info but yes we will be offering a 2-1 headpipe that will work on the 2009-2010 bike. We have already designed and built the muffler for the 2-1 which is going into production which we are calling the Jackpot PowerTube muffler. I have the first article on our 2010 Street Glide and it sounds and performs awesome. Our 2-1 headpipe & PowerTube muffler may likely be the best HP performing combination we offer for these models.
Catalyst in the headpipes for all 50 states should sell a lot more aftermarket headpipes than 09's did. The 09 stock non-cat headpipes will be like gold !
Maybe but the only guys that can use them or will likely be interested in them are 2009 SE RGs or 2009 SE UCs. The 2009 catless touring header can only be used on a 2009 bike. Kinda leaves them out there all by themselves. Not much use to anyone other than 2009 touring bike owners since the O2 bung is relocated and a different size in the 2010 header.
Jamie,
Thank you for all the great R&D you do to keep our pockets empty! Are your "secret" pipes just for the '09 and '10 bikes, or do I need to start saving up for some that fit my '07?

You tapped your muffler on cement to put the exhaust clamp(I assume) on? and a piece of chrome flaked off.. and you think it's poor quality chrome? LMAO
My Jackpot mufflers have _NOT_ flaked or yellowed or blued.

On our initial base runs our 2010 bike made a few more HP/Tq than our 09 did. I typically do not compare runs unless they are done on the same day, under the same conditions, etc.. as these 2 bikes were tested a year apart. With that being said i think it looks pretty good for the 2010 bike from the initial runs and we are pretty excited to get going with it.
Like you said, the difference could well be the difference in testing conditions. Having said that, I bought my first new car in 1975. The model I bought was available with or without a cat converter. Since no one back then was looking forward to the added pollution controls and the advent of unleaded (read: more expensive) fuel, I opted for the non-cat equipped car. It was definitely running lean most of the time and I was not happy with it. Disabling some of the pollution equipment took care of that. I later got the chance to drive the same car with a cat converter and it ran noticeably better. My impression was that it was set with a richer mixture, just enough to improve performance and driveability, and then they let the cat converter take care of the excess pollutants. I'm wondering if something like that is happening with Harley on the 2010 models?
Just a thought!
Ride Safe,
Steve R.
PS: Jamie, thanks for all your input on this forum. It's very much appreciated. I haven't made any final decisions yet on what I want to do with my bike. I'd like a "little" more performance and less heat but I don't want too much more noise. I imagine I'll be talking to you or one of your people sometime before the end of the year! All the best!
