They sound great! They didn't have them for the 09's so I got Rineharts . Now I wish I would have waited.

Yea, the 09 issue is a whole nuther story. (I ordered mine before they bothered to mention they were changing them for 09).

That video sounds great! Those were already on the top of my list, I think that just cements it.

I have some other things I want to do, so I'll just wait until they come out with the "official" 2009 version.

Thanks for sharing the video.

Nice video. The pipes sound good on it. But I have to tell you all the truth... in person they sound waaaaaay better than that ;-)

After 500 miles with mine I think they are the best sounding pipes I have ever heard. It's really cool how they let the big V-twin sound come through but keep the decibel level decent.

1. Stock
2-3. Street Legal SE
4-5. Monster Ovals
6. Standard Ovals
7. Rineharts
9. Thunderheader
10. Strait Pipes

I DO think the monsters have the TONE of the Rineharts, without the volume.
Do you have any knowledge or thoughts on the sound of the Rush 1.75 slip-ons? Thanks for the effort on this!

Thanks for taking the time to make that video. I love your bike, and the Monsters, but not the price. WOW!
