Well...I installed a Stage 1 air filter and V&H True Duals with Classic Slip-Ons over the winter. I like the performance and sound...but the 'significant other' has made a few comments about the increased noise. Any suggestions on mufflers that are a bit quieter?

 

There are a lot of posts on this topic. I couldn't be more satisfied with my SE Touring Mufflers. Noticeably throatier than the stock mufflers w/o being too loud. 50 state legal too.

My rinehart td are much quieter than my bros vh td!

 

+2 on the HD SE TOURING Mufflers. #80732-09

 

The true duals definitely increase the sound no matter what mufflers you put on. The SE are probably quieter that than V&H though.

 

+3 SE Touring Slip Ons. Got about 7,000 miles on mine, and they have taken on a deeper tone than they originally had, but are still only a little louder than stock. My wife, who goes on long rides with me on a regular basis, approves of the sound as well.

 

+ 4 on the SE 4 inch perf/tour cans. 4500 mile cross coutry with half helmet and no ear bleed. Sound good and look good.

 

Check if they make a quiet baffle for your mufflers. I installed v&h bigshot true duals that were too loud, and the quiet baffles made them tolerable.
