2019 Roadking Slip on Question
Just picked up a 2019 road king everything is stock of course want to change to slip on mufflers the dealer is telling me how wonderful the Vansen Hines for 4 in just picked up the 2019 road king everything in stock of course want to change to slip on mufflers the dealer is telling me how wonderful the Reinhart 4 inch slip one are, I am looking for that classic Harley throaty low-frequency sound well I get that with them? Looked around YouTube I actually like the sound of the VH eliminator 400s Dealer told me they don’t hold up as well as the Reinharts and don’t sound as good?
Probably will settle on the Reinharts chrome with the black and caps on my Vivid Black RoadKing!
One last thing on my Indian Springfield which I traded him at one point I had the Reinharts did not like the sound sound too high pitch and whiny ended up with the Indians stage once sounded more throaty Thoughts ??

Straight pipes will give you the greatest volume and they also have a real nasty crack when you rack the throttle. No performance lost at all....just displaced performance. Straight pipes will put all of your power and torque somewhere above 4000 rpm. That is good because the engine will naturally make more noise at higher RPM anyway so riding in the power range will make more noise all the time..
Make sure you rack the throttle at every opportunity, especially in the middle of the night in small towns. Stop signs in any town is a great place for you to solicit an "look at the cool biker" from all the people aroung. Make sure you get the kids to cover their ears. That means they enjoy pain. But, hey, no sense having them if you not going to use them. Try to set a new standard and see how many people will think that you and your ride are awesome. (NOT!).
Can't understand why you would want to take a sweet CVO Ultra and basterdize it? Damn man, develop some taste and sense of dignity. Ultras should rumble like an old muscle car leaving a general awe in their wake, not leaving people looking for their rifles to shoot your sorry a** off the seat next time they hear you. That's why I threw away my Rinehart True Duals. Loud Pipes don't Save Lives...the laws of physics and acoustics prove that.
One final rant in my ramblings......It's this kind of desire to be loud and obnoxious that make me think that maybe Denver has the right idea.......... and I don't think legislation is the solution to anything... Don't supply ammunition.....

while I agree thst obnoxious pipes are just bad for the sport to say loud pipes don't save lives is bull. Have you been on a highway and have a car start to come into your lane then suddenly jerk back to their own lane? That's because the didn't see you but heard you. I've had it happen plenty of times. Don't tell me aboyt riding in the blind spot because while I may have been passing through it I was not riding in it.

IDK, but you gotta give Kudos to EarDoc for searching for an old post, instead of starting a new thread and having everyone scream WHY DID YOU NOT SEARCH THE FORUM FIRST?
Ear Doc, a M8 will not get very loud. NEVER buy new pipes, get on the forum here (and CL) and start buying used pipes & swapping them out, just like everyone else. It does the economy good....
