Default Wild Pigs vs Rush, are they equal in quality?

How does the Wild Pig slip-on quality compare to Rush? Is one as good as the other? I have read several about rattling baffles for Rush but not on Wild Pigs. Don't know if that is because no one buys the Pigs.

Thanks for the info. Pulling the trigger on one.

I have Rush touring models with 1.75" baffles on stock header pipes. 3000 miles so far and they sound great. They actually are getting quiter as time goes on. I'd buy again. Can't speak for pigs, but 2 friends of mine have them and have no problems yet. I believe the baffles are similar to each pipe, but the pigs are a thinner guage metal. Don't quote me on that though.

Wild Pig slip ons sound great, right up there with the ultra expensive big boys. Excellent value for the money, Im very satisfied.

My Rush pipes had a tinny sound, almost an echo. They sent me new baffles and that did not fix anything. While replacing the baffles I discovered what the sound was. The Rush are so heavy in the neck area that the clamps were not squeezing them enough I was was getting a coupld of pinpoint leaks, noticable when I let up on the throttle. A new set of HD clamps and a lot more torque and they are fine.

I've had the rush 1.75 on my 07 for about a year. Very pleased with the sound and quality

I've chimed in on most all other such threads; might as well here, too.

Rush 2" in use roughly 8k miles. Excellent fit/finish (yes, the clamps need to be jammed on pretty good); great sound level and quality. Would do it again in a heartbeat were it not for the new Bub 7s true duals with true crossover which I'm liking the idea of very much...

I have wild pigs and Im at almost 30K miles and they still sound great! I took the baffles out and removed the packing fiberglass material and reinstalled the baffles. Gave them a little more growl without making them obnoxious. I only paid 145$ for my pigs off of ebay. One of the mufflers has a small welding imperfection on the back underside at the reducer. It is not even visible when they are on the bike. Oh yeah and i even got a T-shirt at that price!

I love my Wild Pigs sound great and for the price to me they can't be beat. 5,000 miles no problems.
