Default Any Comments on RCX Mufflers?

I went in to my local dealer to look at V&H pipes but he said he stopped carrying them because of chrome issues after a couple of years. He recommended RC Components 4.5". I listened to them and they sounded like what I want. Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with the mufflers or the company?

These are going on a 14 FLHTK with a decatted head pipe

If you like the sound, I say get them. Thats the most important part. However, I have had my V&H on my bike for a couple of years and 15,000 miles with 0 issues.

Ive had my RC 4" since 2013. They look like the day I got them. The fit and finish of any RC product is great. They have been making chrome products for quite a while. Just pick the tips you like and enjoy!

I have a set of 4.5" chrome RCX for my '17 Limited. I like the sound but the quality stinks. Low end torque really suffered before the tuner.

Less than a year old. Body of the mufflers are pitted and the chrome on the tips is lifting already.

My first set were chrome Excaliburs and held up great. Sold them when I went another direction with the bike. I have the RCX headers and slips on the new bike in black. Yeah, I like them.

I had a set of 4inch on my 2014 Limited for four years with no cosmetic issues. Always liked the sound of them.

I have them on my '15 Limited.
Completely happy with them!
Running V&H Power Duals head pipes with them.
They sound great, and are very good quality.

Same here, I got mine in 2012, finish is still excellent, and the sound is still wicked. Good price, great product.
