Back in 95 I put the Screaming Eagle slash cut balony slip ons on my 95 Softail Custom. They were the race only ones and sounded pretty good. When I bought my 01 Springer I wanted the same ones but they were no longer available, but I found out the Cycle Shack slip ons were the same thing, without the HD logo. In fact Cycle Shack made the Harley ones. So I bought Cycle Shacks. The new ones are not the same. I would just get Cycle Shacks.

Not quite sure what you're trying&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; to accomplish but what are you expecting?
&nbsp\\;
It's a 883 dude.&nbsp\\; You get what you pay for.
&nbsp\\;
If your serious about sound and performance then forget about the Screamin Beagle's.
&nbsp\\;
Check out Samson, Rheinhart or some other comparible after market exhaust.

well my dad and i decided that we are going to send them back, and we were looking in an older harley catalog and they have the harley mufflers that i bought, then they have a screamin eagle II muffler that the catalog says is not street legal and if for race purposes and my dad thinks thats what he bought for his bike, but he wasnt sure since he bought the pipes brand new when he got his bike in 95, do any of you know anything about the older screamin eagleII's that are " Race Only's "????
&nbsp\\;
I have had both the old SE's and the new SE II. The new ones have a differant (deeper/mellow) sound, but as I mentioned, they do require a break in period.

What does being an 883 have to do with anything?
With the right pipes you can get great sound from an 883.
Look for some Cycle Shack slip on's.

What you're looking for is a set of Screaming Eagle II mufflers. That's what script is on the muffler and they are louder than stock. Heck, even the 50 state legal Screaming Eagle muffler is louder than stock once you come off idle. The part number you bought are Harley Davidson mufflers and they are much quieter than the Screaming Eagle II's.

&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Exactly. they quit making SE IIs, but have been told that the cycle shacks are the same thing.

I think maybe the quick answer is to sell those on ebay.
If they are the original SE mufflers they wont bring much on ebay, neither will the new ones.

Gotta agree with Dooley, I have the older Screamin Eagle slash cuts on my 883 and they sound great and perform even better.&nbsp\\;Decent, deep sound and a good volume.
