Stock for now.

I don't mind too much . . . my last bike was so loud that I'd get a bad headache after an hour long ride.


I'll probably go with V & H Ovals at some point.

I think we are up to far more than 11 and climbing like crazy. There are a lot of us out there that like performance and throatyness but not volume.

I just REMOVED RINEHART TRUE DUALS from my '02 Ultra. 105dB [:'(] in the riders position 2200rpm cruise (6 speed). It felt like I had a drummer behind me whacking me in the head with mallets in a nice steady cadence! Since I rack up 35,000 plus miles a year this was not tolerable. Gave me a headache after 20 minutes of riding and the guys I ride with would no longer let me be in front of them. They felt my exhaust hammering in their handlbars!

BUT....I came up with a pretty cool compromise. With a little polished stainless I made an adapter that let me put the STOCK mufflers on the True Dual head pipes. Now I have cool looks and quiet ride....and...it sounded different and a little QUIETER than stock! (so I opened up the baffles just a wee bit...but not so much that I can't hear the whine of the gear drive cams) The True Dual "mufflers" when into the garbage. (FWIW..I ran the bike without the "mufflers" on the pipes and I could not measure any difference in volume. The "mufflers" only seem to take the edge off the upper frequencies.

ORIGINAL: Stumpman

Just wondering who still runs there factory exhaust and who has louder pipes? I still have the factory ones on mine.
I have never even heard my bike with the factory exhaust. SE Pro Performance Slashdowns were installed with SE Stage 1 before I took delivery.
