Help me choose '05 RKC exhaust....
I'm wanting an exhaust that ABSOLUTELY will not blue. That is my first criteria. I could go either slip-ons or a full system, I have no real preference. I don't want the bike REAL loud, just a nice mellow Harley sound- louder than stock though. I won't be doing much in the way of mods, as I want total reliablity. Stage one filter setup, pipes and a re-map is about it. I like the looks of the Screamin' Eagle slip-ons with the Sharkfin tips, but haven't heard them, or know if they blue. Any suggestions?

Lots of positive feed back here on the V&Hs. I am also leaning towards ordering a set of V&H's, installing them myself to save a few bucks and then taking the bike to the dealer for the SE Stage 1 upgrade. I'm hoping that will give my FLHRCI a little kick in the pants and a nicer sound without breaking the bank. Good luck.

If you want to save yourself a few bucks. Install the pipes and Stage 1 kit yourself then take it to the dealer for the remap. They still charge you for the mapping but you'll save yourself the installation costs, I did. The Stage 1 install is a piece of cake.

Most pipes are shielded today, but the mufflers will still turn if not properly tuned.
