This is almost like asking what kind of girl should I date? Everyone will give what they like as a response...but you need to discover this on your own. I heard exhaust that people love and I think is sucks and the other way around. It is best to try and hear and many different pipes on a similar bike as yours as see what YOU really like. As like marriage, you will be stuck with it for awhile..LOL.

Here is my opinion...the stock exhaust on the 2014s don't sound that bad - probably the best I've heard coming off the showroom floor in quite sometime - so you don't need rush right out and change the exhaust like it it the "required" thing to do.... Happy Hunting...

 

Did any of you guys look into s&s exhaust? I'm looking into their black header and race tour mufflers. I dig the fact that they're jet hot'd instead of just powder coated, and the finish is guaranteed for life. Only problem is even on their own website, they only list the exhausts as going up to 2012's. Gotta get a hold of the local distributor and see what he knows, just figured I'd see if anyone already looked into it.

 

I have the same setup, started with 2.5" baffles, and it was a bit loud for my taste. I could hear the stereo north of 90mph though.

I switched to the 2", and love them, with the stereo at 5 marks, cruise set at 78mph I can't hear the exhaust unless I pass a car then I get the rumble resonating back. It does make noise when I grab a handful, however.

 

I have the S&S chrome header pipes installed - box does say up to 2012 but catalog says 2014 - they fit great and as far as I can tell (haven't ridden yet) at idle they sound fantastic. (race mufflers installed)

 

Just ordered my S&S setup. Went black header and 4" race tour mufflers with chrome caps to stand out a bit. Should be here next week. All said and done it was just under $1300 out the door. Now I remember why I usually buy my parts lightly used off Craigslist.

 

I went with the Reinhart's 4 inch slip-on's. Love the deep sound and took about 40 minutes to put them on. I can still here the music at all speeds... I did not notice any power range issues, just lost about 2 miles per gallon with them.

 

Just have to say I got the SE Street Cannons installed today and they blew me away. It was exactly the low rumble I was looking for without being obnoxiously loud. If anything I think they sound classy. And they look pretty sharp too. I got the jet black tips put on the chrome pipes. Easy install and no tune needed.

 

I went with a Thunderheader for the power, but a Thunderheader is not very Radio/Phone friendly! But they sound unreal!!!

 

Someone with more touring bike experience wanna answer me a question? Is the way the header mounts of the transmission housing different from '13 to '14? My factory header has a bracket welded to the header that sticks in horizontally towards the trans housing, and there's a 90 degree bracket bolted to the trans cover, then just drop a bolt through the holes and tighten. The s&s pipe doesn't have that tab protruding from the header, it's just a bracket welded flat to the pipes with a slot in it about 3" further back than the factory pipes. Did s&s short me a bracket? There's nothing in the parts bag that is even close to a replacement bracket to bolt to the trans. Got a call in to tech support, but they were gone for the day by the time I realized the issue.

 

I had Rinehart true duels on my 07 road glide and crossbacks on my 08 Crossbones I had pitting and fading issues with both pipes. I am trying Cobras this go around lifetime warranty and made in the USA . only got a 100 miles on them so far . nice sound , After the 1000 mile change over to synthetic oil I'm puttin on their head pipes and SE race tuner and getting it tuned
