Jackpots, What Do You Think?
#11
I recently put the Jackpots on my SG. No way are they as loud as Rienharts. I went from stock to the Jackpots and it is a big improvement. Deep sound but tame at idle and cruise. You get some great sound when you get on it. You do not have to crank your radio to hear either.
Before I bought the Jackpots, a dealer let me take out a used Ultra with some Bub7's. Those were much louder. Too loud for me. I think you will be very happy with the Jackpots. IMO, its as close to a regret free decision you can make.

I now have the 1.75 right-side baffle too. When the bike was stock I had the 2" right-side baffle and it was about right, but when I did a cam upgrade recently the noise level increased, as expected. I ordered the smaller baffle and it is better, but I might still like to have it a bit quieter. My ears are good at the frequencies emitted by the exhaust, bad anything higher like the stereo, so my needs may be exceptional.

I just finished 3 days of riding NW Arkansas => Atlanta (750 miles), Atlanta => Md (675 miles) and Md => Upstate NY (350 miles) all interstate. I wear earplugs mainly to cut down on the wind noise. With earplugs in depending if my feet were on the floorboards or highway pegs I did not hear the exhaust at all or I heard a slight rumble but nothing objectionable.
I have the basic Fuel Moto Stage 1.

Here's another +1 on FuelMoto's stage 1 kit with the dyno-tuned Jackpots.
I was looking for something with better than stock performance without a radical increase in noise level and the Jackpots did the trick at at very decent price for the whole package. Yes, at cruising speeds they are louder than stock but I can still hear the radio with no problem. I did have to turn down the sensitivity on my intercom a notch or two, and so did the guy riding next to me. They have a nice "bark" when I twist the throttle but not enough to set off car alarms...so far. My only (very minor) complaint is that the metal work could be better. Maybe just a little polish at the slash cuts before going into the chrome tank.
Overall I'm extremely happy with the Jackpots and the whole package. It's the biggest "bang for the buck" I know of and I would definitely do it again.
BTW, I read in another post that Fuelmoto is moving to a new location right now and that might explain the delay in email responses. My experience with them has been completely positive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I went from Rineharts to Jackpots. I found the Rineharts way too loud and the Jackpots just about right. The performance is excellent and the sound is perfect IMO. I am the exception as far as problems go with the mufflers. Most people are trouble free but I just can't seem to get it right. Jamie has been very good about working with me and stands behind his product but I'm still having issues. I have had loose baffles and chrome turning color problems. The latest set has turned dark near the collector. I'm hesitant to change the map because the bike is running really well. I run between Florida and Pittsburgh quite a bit and it seems like that trip is when I get them hot enough to turn a little color. In spite of my problems I do recommend them.
I should add that my Problems could be with the PCIII or something else. This bike has always run on the lean side since day one and I had a hell of a time getting it tuned with the Rineharts. Right now it is running well so I'll live with a little color at the collector.
