Default Rineharts vs Rush

I currently have V&H dresser duals with Rush mufflers 2.5 inch baffles.The sound is really nice,just wondering what the difference would be if I went with the new Rineharts 4 inch slip ons?The Rineharts look really nice,but I just wonder if the sound of the Rush is about as good as it gets.Is there really any need to swap them out for the Rineharts?

IMO Rineharts will blow the V&H out of the water. They will definitely be louder and deeper. Sound is very subjective so there is no way to say what will work for you.

I just have the dresser dual head pipes,my mufflers are Rush.I will keep my headers and just swap out the mufflers.So with that said what about slip on vs slip on.What are the differences in sound with Rush vs Rineharts?

I think Rineharts sound better, but that's a subjective call. Check em' both out in person or listen to sound clips on the web and decide for yourself.

Which Rineharts?

The Touring muffler isnt really all that loud - at least not at idle or normal riding...

V&H long shot and there were louder than my Rineharts true duals. The V&H run my bike better also. Just my 2 cents.

IMO Rinehart's have a deep throaty sound, I love the way they sound.

Yes,I'am thinking about the difference is loudness,and just overall sound comparing the Rush 2.5 pipes/baffles with the Rinehart 4inch pipes.I might as well tell everyone,yes I love loud pipes so the V&H monster series out,it's too bad because I really like the way they look.

My friend just put full Rinehart 4" True Duals on his RK. As soon as they release them for Softails they may be going on my Heritage. Rinehart says they will be available by March at the latest. Great sound & looks!+

edited 2/16/11, Ended up with Freedom Performance 4" racing True duals. WOW!

Rineharts definitele sound about the best Ive heard...just opinion....
Is it worth the money to change....if you got thte money to throw around, maybe.
I got some cheap wild pig mufflers and I couldn't be happier...
if you got the money to blow....do it
