I just go back from a 2950 mile trip and had a great time, but I came to a sad realization - my FatCat is just too damn loud for that kind of saddle time. Can anybody give me some ideas of what they are using for a good performance pipe that won't cost me much (any) power from my high output 113 but will run a little quieter? I really don't care if I go with another 2 into 1 or a 2 into 1 into 2. Any help would be really appreciated.


Oh yeah, I will have a Fat Cat for sale in a little bit with the big bore baffle and the quiet performance baffle.

 

I to do a good bit of long distance riding including a few Iron Butts and found the rush mufflers I had were way too loud. althoug perhaps a little too quiet, I have since put the SE big can (4") mufflers on both my 07 and 08b. They were take offs and didn't reak the bank. I am however running stock motors and intakes. These may have too much back pressure for your needs.

 

My "stock muffs" are perfect.
Can bark them if need be...low rumble at 70....very happy

 

Checkout the dyno tuned jackpots from Fuelmoto. They are a bit more quiet than the 2" rush muffs I had on my old fxdf.

 

Vance & Hines Monster Ovals - perfect rumble.

 

See what you can find out about the 2010 2-1s. Also, I learned that Harley has 2-1s in their Screaming Eagle catalog. Don't know anything about them yet, but they must be intended for the 110s.

I know what you mean about loud pipes...real cool around town, but they'll drive you nuts on long trips. I installed HD Touring Mufflers #65259-00 on my Ultra. They're slightly louder than stock pipes.

 

There is a new muffler system recently introduced by Bub Enterprises in response to the EPA concerns. According to the information, it is a performance exhaust system that meets the 50 state EPA requirement. I don't know of anyone running them yet since they are so new. Might be worth taking a look at them.

I have Vance & Hines Monster Ovals and they give a nice sound but they are pretty mellow, some people get disappointed in that they are not loud enough. Works for me, too loud would get in the way of a ride. Good luck with your search.

 

I looked at the monster ovals in Sturgis and was pretty impressed but just wanted to see what people thought of them in the "real world".

I'll also take a look at the Rineharts.
