Default slip ons vs full pipes?

Whats the real difference.Planning on either the RK or SG and will probably change pipe from jump street.I hear slip ons and i hear true duals.But is the real difference/advantage of one or the other.I'm assuming slipons are cheaper and easier to install,but what about the sound and loudness.

Looks like you might be getting your new bike after all. True duals will get you a lot better sound and loudness. Go True duals and Big City Thunders and you will be complete IMO.

true duel will hurt torqe in the lower rpm were most riding is done id go with slip ons or if u want to spend it on a new system go 2-1 much better tourqe curve.there are some decent sounding slip ons out there.

Actually would probably opt for rineharts.Are slipons easy install that i could just do it myself after i get whichever bike.I mean are they literally slipons?

Literally. They slip right on. Can't believe I paid the dealer to put them on my Fat Boy last year. Now that I installed the BCT's I didn't realize how easy everything came part
