Morning all, I'm sure that this has been covered a time or two so please bear with me on this. I just bought my very first HD. Its 2009 Ultra classic and to be honest it still has paper tags on it.. I took the wife out and the first comment she made was "it doesn't sound like a Harley!" And I agree!!

The next question she asked was "can you put louder exhaust on it?".. So here we go, I'm looking for slip-on's like the old screaming eagles. The new ones are much more quiet. Now I'm not looking to blow out ear drums here but I want something in the middle with a deeper tone. Can you tell me what you have and like and maybe offer a few examples to stay away from. I used to believe that loud pipes save lives but these days (I'm almost 40 now) I beleive that medium sounding pipes save lives! I do want to listen to the music too on long trips!

Thanks in advance!

Gregg

I like my Bub7 True Duals. Idling you can talk over them just fine and riding they are mellow unless you really get on it.

 

I don't have them on my bike as I make my own pipes but the Bubs are the way to go for you are looking for.

 

If you are looking for slipons, take a look at Rush.

You can choose the baffle size to get the volume you want.

Scroll down and you can listen to the different baffle sizes.

 

put the bub7's on my 08 RK, could not be happier...

 

There are lots of nice sounding slip-ons out there, and just about everybody has their favorites. Take a look at the Power Packages from FuelMoto. For around $700.00 you get a PC-V pre-mapped for your bike, a SE type stage 1 A/C and a set of their Jackpot Dyno-tuned mufflers. You can also get the same baffle configuration in the Rush slip-ons if you prefer, but they cost a little more.

I'm very pleased with the Jackpots' sound. A little louder than stock at cruise (not enough to drown out the music) and a nice bark when you twist it!

Fuelmoto is a great company to do business with: They patiently answered all my questions even though I'm sure they get the same ones 10 times a day!

 

The older Screamin Eagle mufflers were made by Supper Trapp. They still make them and call them the Super Trapp SE slip ons. http://supertrapp.com/product_sections/cat.asp?CatID=43

 

I put the Rush slip-ons on my '09 Ultra and they sound great. That true Harley thump for around $400. My dealer said I had to do the Stage 1 download when I put the Rush's on, so I did. That's another close to $200 bucks. I love the sound of mine for $600 bucks.

 

You can't beat the Rush slip-ons for the value. My buddy put the 2.0 baffle on his SG. They sound pretty good. I opted for the SE Touring Performance pipe for the '09 touring. As you point out, they are definitely quieter than the older SE pipes. I had Rinehardt true duals on my Road King, and they were great sounding. But now that I have CD player on my SG I was more interested in hearing it than the pipes. And when I got my '09 the aftermarket had not caught up with the new exhaust routing. So I figured I would just go with the SE slip-ons until something better came along. For now they've grown on me.
