Hello-newbie on this forum-first Harley this Spring(Feb 29) 9400+miles riding so far-loving every minute.Metrics don't even come close.I need input from riders that know first hand about slip-on options for my 2006 FLHT with EFI.I have considered V&H-Rhinehart-Samson ovals-Rush-Bub-and have also heard that Supertrapp SE performance is a good choice. I want the bike to sound like a Harley not like the metric I was riding.Also if I can use these slip-ons without retuning-remapping etc. I will also be putting upgraded dual header pipes in the future.Like most of us I also have a budget but would like to get started with the slip-ons for sound and performance. I don't object to a louder muffler especially going through the gears because most will quiet down at highway cruising speeds?? Thanks for the help and I am very happy and proud to own and ride an American Harley-Bob also thanks for letting me ramble-first post

 

I ran a set of the older Screamin Eagle 2's on my Ultra for a while. It had a little decel pop but ran decent for the most part. They definately give the bike the harley sound. You would have to watch eBay for a set of these since they don't make them any longer. My other recommendation would be to save a little more money and get the fuel moto package with the PC3 and rush slip ons. My buddy has the 2.25" baffle in his and they sound nice/deep.

Most exhuast will quiet down at cruising speeds.

 

My .02; save your money until you have about $1K for exhaust and fuel management--then decide what you want. For example, you might decide what you want is Rinehart True Duals, but the mufflers you buy to install now won't fit the TD's head pipes.

Also, unless you are also changing your intake, performance improvement will be very little with a muffler change. When you increase the air flow through the engine you will need to remap the ECM or otherwise change the fuel for the engine; i.e., a fuel management device. Even some mufflers flow enough more air to require a fuel management device.

So, save your money; listen to a lot of other bikes to help you decide what you want; and, be prepared to buy what you'll need.

 

If your looking for slip-ons and no fuel management change the Rush slip-ons is the option I picked. You can go up to a 2 inch baffle with no fuel management changes. They sound great ,and are a very good value compared to many others. also quality is second to none.

 

Supertrapp SE gets my vote. I love the deep rumble

 

Hi

On my 06, I ran Wild Pig Pipes--they are around $150 for the pair delivered and worked great--I found that wrapping them in extra baffle wrap (got them to kick some in) the sound was mellow on the highway but "barked" if someone needed to know I was near

Chris there is a pretty good guy to deal with--PEZ
