I had Rush slip ons on my Street Glide. In my opinion, they are junk and their customer service is horrible. Packing on baffles lasted 500 miles before they burnt out then sounded like crap. Chrome was not that good. The fatory reps also bad mouthed Jamie and FuelMoto which, to me, is very un-professional

Have had the Rush for 4yrs and almost 30 k.
I put 2" baffles on and love the sound.

They still look like new...

As far as service when I first got the pipes and I had decell popping. The wrench couldn't tune it out and said I'd have to live with it. After calling Rush and talking to a rep he told me in less than a minute what was wrong. I checked the pipes per his instructions and he was right,, AIR LEAKS...

So I showed the dealer what was wrong and they ended up redoing the mufflers and put on new clamps.. Problem solved.....

When I had 17 or 18 K miles on them I pulled out the baffles and they did need repacked.. called Rush and they overnighted me new material to re-wrap them at no charge.. Still have the same packing now so I've re-wraped my baffles once in 30k miles

I don't think U could ask for any better service or tech help than that.

At least I'm totally pleased with them...

Search Rush problems and read on. There still should be some there.
When the heavy Rush issues hit the fan that involved Rush and FuelMoto posting here, I believe those threads got deleted by the mods and then the mods threatened to kick me, and a few others, off the site because Rush is a sponser. I like it here so Im not going to post anything else on this subject. Just giving my opinion.

I just put on my FuelMoto Headpipe and touring muffs along with the PCV that they had mapped. Awesome! Took 1 hour to do the whole thing. The fit was perfect. A straight forward install. Only had to flatten out the crossover pipe mesh gasket with a round screwdriver to get it all together. The bike is like a Hyenna witha cattle prod up it's rear. Ye Ha Jamie, This setup is awesome!

i have had both and V&H have better chrome but cost much more. Rush you have 4 choices in baffles to make it sound like you want and you can most likely swap baffles in the forum, i did.

I'm totally impressed with the overall quality of my Vance and Hines Big Radius! The chrome is amazing and the fitment was perfect. I'd say go with the Vance and Hines.
