Actually the only ones legal anywhere are the Screaming Eagles.Yes if you are in another state they can fine you for something legal in your state.

 

oH AND THANKS FOR THROWING IN THE RUSH SLIP-ONS NOW IM TORN 3 WAYS J/K
THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS

 

Don't Know what was with the all caps????

 

Just went with the cycle shack SO's here on my 2002--found it to be a great balance between too quiet stock and really obnoxious.

 

I went with cycle shacks because I came across a good deal but I couldnt be happier with them, I was able to hear both them and SE on a bike and preffered the cycle shacks but that is just personal pref ...

 

I was in the same predicament. I opted for the 3" slash cut slip-ons from Vance & Hines. They are definitely louder than the SEs and are somewhat throatier than the short shots, which is what I was going for. I think stright pipes are just a bit too loud: I wanted to be heard without setting off car alarms in my neighborhood.

You'll also realize that there are different baffles. For instance, V&H makes quiet baffles, standard baffles and a "competition" variety. Likewise, Rush mufflers are available in different baffle diameters. If you go to Rush's website, you'll see (and hear) video clips of ride-bys on a Sporty and other models. In addition, you'll want to upgrade your breather and do a Stage 1 download at the least. Many folks get a tuner/fuel maangement system as well, although IMO it's overkill.

I suggest that you go to your HD dealer. Chances are, they'll have bikes in service or for sale used with different exhaust options that you can hear for yourself and decide.

 

How often has anyone actually been ticked/stoped because of loud pipes ??

Over here in Cowtown Okla it's never done.
