RE: New mufflers - can't explain the feeling
ORIGINAL: Perch
I just bought, and hubby installed, some Rush slip-ons with 2.25" baffles on my Nightster. Now this is the where I'm at a loss for words. I just can't explain the feeling of riding that SAME bike, but with a different - LOUDER, DEEEPER- sound. It was just awesome, and I feel so ashamed but riding around I felt my "cool factor" has shot up 100% and I love it. I loved my bike before, but now I am 1000% happy. And now, riding behind my husband, I can hear my OWN engine rather than HIS (He has a Night Train with the Rush slip-ons).

Idon't really want to spend the money right now for allsorts of other fancy stuff done to the bike - air filters, re-mapping, dyno, whatever, so figured I'd chance it and see how the bike runs just having popped on the slip-ons, nothing else.
And BTW yesterday I was riding on the freeway, and some guy in a cage decided he was going to merge over into my lane... I hit the throttle and let those pipes rip, and he literally JUMPED in the driver's seat. Apparently he didn't see me but he sure as heck HEARD me. HAHAHA

There's nothing like hearing that idle, either. It will turn heads. Our friend who has the 1200 Sportster trike got V&H slip-ons last week. She loves the sound. I'm going to be listening to a lot of pipes in a few days. I have Rush, they make the 883 sound deep. I'll bet the 1200 sounds even better.

Bit of a bump here, but I just got a Thunderheader on my Nightster. Holy Crap!!!! Had to take the long road home from the shop. I don't know how much stock to put in it, but the dyno paper is showing a 20% increase in HP and torque. It seemed to jump a bit when I laid on it. Or maybe that was me lifting the bike from \\;jumping at the new \\;sound...

I know it's been asked again and again, but I just want to be sure before I press "submit" on the order button...If I just install Rush slip-ons and make no changes to the A/C, it would seem that I do not need a remap, is this correct? \\; I'll eventually do the stage I, but the budget doesn't allow for it right now, so it's just slip-ons.
