Got the new Rush 1.75’s from Fuel Moto yesterday. Put-em on last night and waited all morning today for the ice to melt. Just got back from a 60 mile run. 34 degrees but no ice. Here's the report.

I LOVE-EM!!!!. But I want to give as honest of an opinion as possible.

As far as pure Volume goes, with stock being a 1 and the Rineharts being a 10, I'd say that the Rush with 1.75's are about a 7.

But the big change is the "tone" or "exhaust note". In my opinion, and my wife’s, they seem much lower in pitch and a much more consistent sounding rumble. The Rinehart volume or "loudness" bugged me but I really think it was a certain "Raspy" or "Cracking" sound that really bugged me the most. Not there with the Rush's. These mufflers sound like I wanted my Harley to sound. I think what may be happening is that these baffles are wrapped with packing material so that "cracking" sound I was hearing with the Rineharts is now gone.

Don’t get the impression that these are quiet, because I think if you are looking for quiet, or quieter, you might want to think about the 1.5's. I may even give the 1.5's a try sometime in the future being that I've come this far and they are only $65 for the pair of baffles. But probably not.

ALL in ALL, I'm a Happy Camper and probably gota few bugs on my teeth today!!

Anyway, that's the report. I'll see how they "break-in" over the next couple hundred miles.

I guess the next thing is to update my Sig Pic and polish up the Rineharts for E-Bay.

 

Did you get straight or slash cut? Pictures with them installed??

 

Gotta love them Rush slip-ons..........
2.0" baffles here.....not too loud and
not too deep, and definatly no *tinney* sounds......
With 10k miles they keep getting better and better with every ride....

 

Running the Rush (2" baffle) on my 2009 Street Glide. Best friend behind me all day today riding. He was impressed with how aggressive they sound on throttle and the deep tone on idle.

 

will your rineharts fit a 09?

 

I too like my Rush mufflers with 2' baffles

 

I LUV my 2 1/2"

 

I have my old SE's on the new Ultra, and they sound better than ever. I put the Rush's 1.75 on the wife's Heritage, sound good. Now we have friends that are putting the Rush's 2 on his new 09 SE Ultra and then one has the 2's on his wife's Heritage and I admit they sound awesome.

 

They will get louder thats for sure.
I put 1.5 in mine and wish they were even smaller!
What I did to cure that certain tone that just kills my ears at cruising speed was I welded a 2" washer in the intake side of the baffle that has like a 7/8" hole in it and it took away that tone I cant handle on long rides but still barks when I want it, works for me. I have some 1 3/4 like new baffles that I might possibably be willing to sell.

 

I got the straight cuts. Pretty much a Plain Jane look but that's what I like.

Rush also makes a tip compatible muffler with about 20 different options. You can see and hear them at www.rushracingproducts.com. Then you can make the smartest move and buy them from Fuel Moto.
