I've got V&H head pipes and rush slip ons. They sound great. The nice thing about the Rush is you can change the baffle size if you want.

 

I just ordered a set of Rush slip ons with the tapered tips.

 

I had a set of Rush with 2.25 baffles and loved them, then when i moved up to a full system, i think my rush were a bit louder than my Sampson's (baloney's)

 

I have the Rush 2.25 and they sound great have that deep throaty sound. Great sound without all the retunes and such to the EFI

 

I just put on the Rush 2". Love the sound. Sounds like a Harley should sound.
I certainly wouldn't go any higher then 2" (IMO). They are plenty loud enough.

 

Ordered the rush 2-inch baloney cut slip-ons. Stealer swears I'm going to have problems and will need to re-jet the carb. We'll see. Thanks all.

 

you will need to rejet or run lean. the efi bikes can adjust for the pipes but the carb will not

 

I had both on my '07 fxstc:

first I mounted the V&H big Shots Staggered: they are loud, yes, but a nice sound? No, not at all.
Sorry to all of you V&H fans, but there's no soul in the V&H sound as for my experience with them. As i said, it's only noise. In all honesty, i do not understand why they are so popular.

Then I went for the Rush 2" slip-ons and they do have that nice deep rumble, they produce a troaty sound that makes a TC96 even sound (for as far as this is possible...) like a Harley should.

If you're looking for a deep, troaty rumble, then I'm sure the Rush 2" will let your TC88 sound that way. I'm not sure what the sound of the 1.75 or smaller is like.


Good luck with the changes!

 

I've researched this via the search engine for Months. All indications are with the 2.0 baffle some type of retune should be necesarry. 1.75 lets you get away without doing anything else.
Let us know what you think of the sound once your up and running.

 

Dang, wish I had seen this yesterday. Just ordered D&D slip ons. I afraid to ask if anyone knows if these will sound ok??? Guess I'll find out.
