Best Exhaust for 2020 Road Glide Special
#31
You may want to confirm with your dealer your warranty isn't voided changing to non Harley slip ons. I recently purchased a 2019 SGS and my service dept showed me a letter to sign that voids your warranty using non HD exhaust and tuning. I was told even slip ons were a no go.
*edit* so the jokers in the service department are having customers sign a bogus letter? your post above directly contradicts what you said earlier.

The warranty concern seems to be dealer dependent, with some saying no problem, and others taking the hardline. To the OP, talk to the dealer before doing anything. Another issue is if you are traveling far from home....these are "touring bikes" after-all, you don't want to be hung out to dry if another dealer denies you. Just my 2-cents.

thats bs that they would do that. there are several mfgs that are selling 50 state compliant slip ons. those should absolutely in no way have any adverse effect on your warranty. those 4'' rinehart slip ons are one of them. and they wonder why some call them 'stealerships'. smdh

If it's bogus the joke is on me. It sure looked real. When I spoke with the manager yesterday he stated as long as you use the HD tuner I would be okay with them. They know I had a Power Vision on my last bike. He didn't specify 50 state compliant exhaust but I will find out. I am in Canada so maybe it's a Canada thing.

Be aware the M8 engine platform relies on substantial exhaust back pressure to keep low end, seat of pants torque feeling like that of stock , snappy, zippy throttle response. You’ll find many “louder” mufflers are open, large baffles. These sound great, but low end response is typically lost.
S&S Mk45, Fuelmoto Jackpot Street Outlaws, S&S Grand National touring are three mufflers with removable torque inserts designed to allow for customizable torque “feeling” at low/mid rpm. Many threads you can review. Others will chime in as well I’m sure.
V&H twin slash will lose low end, ask me how I know, lol...

On topic, I did like the Rush Big Louies, I and a slash down fan. Get the model for the stock header with the cat if you do not intend on gutting the cat. These were great around town but after the bike was parked all winter I found they were too loud for me for highway touring. I found Forsch Performance with the Angry baffle were more to my liking for touring. The Angry baffle give it a good rumble, it's loud on acceleration, and quiets down at cruising speeds. However it is not much louder than stock at idle, but that fine for me too. I was going to get the standard baffle but the Angry baffle will do the trick.
