I'm planning to purchase a Road King in the next month or so and am working on my shopping list.

Exhaust will surely be on it since I don't care for the stock sound so much and I like to hear it.

On my Softail I tried a 2 into 1 pipe and didn't really care for the sound and switched to a V&H with two pipes.

For the RK I like the look of an exhaust on each side of the tire and I like the sound of the Rineharts tru duals.

Question is; will the Rineharts give me good performance or do you get a flat spot like you do with Drag pipes?

...and where is a good place to purchase them.

 

Refer to this thread https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...e-loudest.html As far as 2 into 2's go, Rinehart's are about the best torque monsters you can get. Very tunable, and if it's tuned correctly you shouldn't have any flat spots in the torque curve at all.

 

do a forum search on true duals and you'll find they're not the way to go if you're all about performance. if you like the look and sound of the true dual and don't mind giving up a little on the bottem end then go for it. butt dyno prol won't know the difference anyway....

 

What is a goood alternative to true duals that scavenges the exhaust, looks good and sounds good on a RK?

 

the stock '09 head pipe does the job well, so it's up to you to find the sound you are looking for.... head to the dealer, or local pub on the weekend and listen....
