Default Changing the Bubs

I have the true duels Bub7s on my 08 Ultra thinking of getting something a little louder. Am I able to just change for a set of slip ons. and keep the rest. Again this is just a thought like to know my oppsions

Here's what I think I know.

The Rinehart TD's are also made by Bub and thr Rinhart TD mufflers have a 2 inch inlet at the headpipe. Not sure about the Bub 7's but you should measure the inlet or call Fuel Moto as I believe they sell Bub's. Most slip-on's won't work in that they are made for the stock 1 3/4 in headpipes
If it turns out that you do have the 2 inch headpipe then Rush does have an option for you. The great thing about Rush is that their mufflers have 5 different baffle options so you can change the sound fairly cheaply and easily. I'm fairly certain that the Rush 2.5 in baffles will be much louder than your Bub 7's.

See-em at Rushracingproducts.com and then buy-em from Jamie or Kieth at Fuel Moto.

wow....louder than the bub true duals?
I have the true duals and thought they were a tad on the loud side myself...I bought the new quiet baffles for them...lol
but I agree with clint55....you can't just buy regular slip ons because the head pipes are bigger than the stock ones. I know this because I was gonna reuse my stock clamps (they were new) and they will not fit....the clamps are too small.
