I just put this package on my 09 Roadglide and I'm pleased with the performance. However they are not as loud as I wanted. I miss riding country roads and listening to my pipes. I had V & H classic slip ons on my 06 they they were much better. Good sound and I could still hear the radio. Fuel Moto did sell me a larger baffel which helped some. Maybe after they burn in some they will sound better. I think the next time I buy pipes I'll go to a swap meet or someplace where I can hear them.

Wow, it just goes to show you how subjective sound can be. I've been down this road before with Rineharts I'm now taking the position that a little too quiet is better than a little too loud. I'm just hoping that these Jackpots sound better than stock and that the PCV and AC kit will perform as advertised while correcting the overly lean setting and cooling things down a bit.

Everything I'm hearing on this package is positive so far. No need for the True Duals and dyno charts showing a 14hp increase when installed on the stock head-pipes along with the PCV and AC. I'm highly optimistic that this is the way to go.
I had the same opinion of the Rush 1.75's, a bit too loud for my taste. Plus, they had a blap-blap sound (bark) at roll-on that I never really liked, sort of reminding me of stock mufflers that had been punched out. The Jackpot baffles are much better, quieter and IMO a better tone with no bark. The difference is the baffling material Fuel Moto uses, which also lasts longer (lifetime warranty). The Rush baffling material apparently settled or deteriorated and got louder as I rode the bike, and after a year was too loud for me.

If this helps, Jamie performed some DB tests on the Jackpots vs. stock and the Jackpots are ~2DB louder, which translates into about 25% more than the stock volume.

I have the system mentioned in the original post. I like it very much and I certainly don't feel that the Jackpots are too loud.

That is exactly what I found with my kit.

Had a chance to ride my bike for over an hour yesterday...side roads and highway...

I just installed the Fuel Moto Kit last weekend or the weekend before...

Bike runs real strong...it is responsive as hell...

My two cents...

The Jackpot Dyno Tuned Mufflers sound great, but they are kind of quiet for some tastes...I cant decide if I need it louder or not yet..

I cant imagine anyone would think they are too loud.

By Far the Best Bang for the Buck. The Bike sounds the way I wanted it, Made it deeper and just a the right volume to be comfortable for cruising all day long.

The performance gain is great. Here is the Dyno of my 07 the top numbers are after I had the package tweaked on a Dyno.

The Numbers are hard to Read in the Scan: 77 HP 91.6 TQ
