The SEii slip on mufflers were built for harley by Cycle Shack and they do sound great both on acceleration and deceleration. This is why I bought the Cycle Shack full system. Great tone and the chrome has been top notch. Their price was awesome too.

There are two types of SE slip ons. One is no longer available although they can be found from time to time. These are the SEII and they are far superior to the V&H both in terms of looks and horsepower. The new SE pipes are quieter but to say they aren't much better than stock is flat wrong and that dealer is trying to make a buck selling a name.

Hello all,
New to the forum, had my bike (08' 1200 Low) for about a year now. I am looking to put intake and exhaust on it before summer hits. I was wondering if there is any advantage to the factory Screamin Eagle slip-ons over the Staightshot slip-ons. Ive been reading about the sound of the V&H's and I think that is what I am looking for, I was wondering if anyone has any idea about horsepower/torque differences between the two though? Thanks, any help is appreciated.

SE Slip-ons
We put the black Screamin Eagle slip-ons on the wife's '08 Nightster, and they sound pretty nice. To say that they are "barely louder than stock" is not correct, they are a fair bit louder than stock, pretty deep, but not nearly as loud as most aftermarket slip-ons. Just about perfect, and she really loves the sound. And, they are LEGAL for street use.
Now, I have the SEII's on my '07 Softail (had to modify them to make them fit) and they are pretty aggressive. I might be downgrading to the regular SE slip-ons soon, just to keep from running afoul of Johnny Law, and preserve what hearing I have left. I really like the sound, but like I said they are fairly aggressive, and where I live that is getting to be an issue.
Bottom line is that I can recommend the SE slip-ons if you are looking for a nice deep but not too-loud exhaust note.
