I am in the same boat as you. I don't know which pipes to get. No doubt, the T-rex do look awesome. I'm a bit hesitant to buy them though because everyone who has them and loves them does say they are very loud. I'm going to have to hear the exhaust system (no matter which one I buy) before I through out the clams to buy anything. I do want a new system though because this '06 SG of mine sounds like a Vespa! This particular topic has been beat to death though. Do a search and you will find much info, cheers. Jon

 

THE HARLEY STOCK PIPES ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!! HA......... Just kidding......Do what I did, hang out a the dealer for a couple hrs, listen for the sounds, and talk to the guys. Everyone is usually happy to discuss.......

I ended up with V&H Classic Slipons!!!!!

 

Thier customer service kind of sucks from my experiance and I know they have had some quality issues from time to time but HK does make some nice pipes.

 

thunderheader(the ultimate 2 into 1) now have a true dual set-up!

 

I have a PCIII and the bike was Dynoed by a good dyno tech. 81 TQ and 80 HP. Fuel mileage is 41 to 46, depending on how I ride, and where I am riding.

As far as customer service, I have never had to call them. I have had their pipes on my old metric, and my Street Glide, no issues.

Yeap. Ive never had to call customer service yet either. Thats a good sign. You cant go wrong with either Reinharts or T-rex. Its a matter of looks really. What YOU like best!!

 

OK. I'm thinking the T-rex's.....Any of you with the T-rex's have any blueing issues? I know some of you stated no....any one with a yes or any other issues with them? What about rejetting the carb after install? or did you just slap them on and go? And are they as loud as some say?

 

I own an 06 SG and bought the Rhinehart True Duals. I spent a ton on them and liked them. Then, I started riding with my buddies and felt like I was riding an old man bike that sounded like a Vespa. I took the motor in, had a 95" upgrade (100hp/100tq) and wanted a pipe that would open up the breathing and sound like it means business. I did a ton of research this time and bought the D&D Fat Cat 2:1.

The D&D Fat Cat fit, finsih and sound is unmistakeable. Plus, not everyone has it which makes it even better.

 

Maybe I am just use to them, but I do not think that they are as loud as people say. For sure they are not the nasty loud pipes that no one wants to be around. I get a fair amount of compliments on how my bike sounds, and I like it. As for re-jetting, if you are on a carb bike, I am sure you will need to re-jet. The pipes will allow more power, so it will need more fuel. As I have said, in another post, 26% increase in power. No blueing issues what so ever with them.

What else do I have to do, in order to put new pipes on my bike. Someone told me in California I can only go soo loud. Would it mess up my warranty? I guess I have to ask the Dealership .

What's your input?

Thanx
