Try the quiet baffles they worked for me.

 

If you remove the fiberglass packing in your SE slip-ons, they will sound decent...significantly louder than with the packing, but not offensively loud. There is a thread on how to remove the baffles...it takes some force to get them out.

However, if I knewwhat I know now when I bought the '07 SE's,I would have bought the Rush slip-ons with the 1.75" or 2" baffles. I know the MoCo is on a politically correct quiet pipesoapbox these days, but they should be ashamed for putting the Screaming Eagle name on mufflers that are as quiet as the stock ones. I didn't want my bike to beannoyingly loud, but I DID want it to sound like a Harley, not a freakin' Gold Wing!

 

I have a slightly different question. With quiet baffles, do you ever need to change out the fiberglass shield (whatever that stuff is around it). Mine seems to be getting that higher pitch which makes me think somehow that the shielding has burnt out or something. I'd rather not take them off to find out, it was a pain in the a** to get them in.

 

JayfromPA - I agree!

lylt - As everyone else stated, try the quiet baffles. It'll save you money that you can spend on other items. If you still don't like 'em after you've tried 'em, you can up the price a bit when you sell them...

Just my 2 cents...

 

another vote for V&H quiet baffles. The bike prob sounds louder to you than it really is ... mine sounds loud and harsh to me ... I got a mate to ride it past me and it sounds sweet ... low and rumbly ... not sure about US pipes but mine (europe) have a flap so all exhaust goes through the lower pipe at low speeds keeping the noise right down at idle speeds ... so i can idle past horses and coming home late without p'ing people off.

 

If you just want a little louder than stock, you might try to find some SE II's on ebay or a dealer might still have some. I put some my dealer still had on the shelf from a year or two back (when they were louder) on my bike and they are louder than stock but reasonable by most's standards. I'd actually like to go a little louder. If you want to trade the V&H's for my SE II's straight-up, I might be willing to consider - let me know.

Someone posted about some replacement baffles you can get for the SE II's that make them even louder if you want but I can't remember what. I'm not planning to spend anymore money on slip-ons. If I can't find a trade, I'm going to spring for pipes eventually.

Another option, as someone else said, are Rush slip-ons. They are what I went to get when I bought mine but the dealer didn't have them in stock for my bike. They are louder still than the SE II's and have a nice rumble. I let them sell me on the SE II's because I'm an impatient a$$ and didn't want to wait for the Rushes to be ordered. I'm okay with the SE II's but I could stand a little louder. They are nothing like the SE's they sell today, however, as far as sound goes. I've yet to meet anyone that bought the current SE's that were satisfied with the volume.

 

lylt, got any pix of those V&H's or a description? I'm assuming you might be interested in getting rid of them. If not, don't bother with pix. lol

 

just playing with pic sizes

Are those the V&H mufflers? They look just like stock.

Haven't heard back from you - are you planning to get rid of the V&H's?
