Default Silp on mufflers?

Ok guys and gals,
I would like you opinion on what slip ons have the best deep rumble sound and performance and looks great too ! I was told the rush silp ons were good, but I never heard them. I like for my 95" to talk some.

Thanks,

My vote is for the Rineharts. but there are louder ones out there. I'd try the dealer on the weekend and listen to the bikes coming in and out and then make the decision after talking with a few people.

Have Vance and Hines Oval slip ons on my '06 Road King Classic..very easy to install..look good IMHO, have a good Harley sound, not too loud, much better than stock! Also not very expensive..Hope this helps!

If you search this subject you can get a thousand opinions, and about 500 are different. LOL, Hooker tuned flow sound the closest to what duals on a wide glide or softail sound, deep bassy and loud. vance and hines sound tinny to me, rhineharts sound good too, but you should wait till you can go and hear the different ones for yourself or you may be like a lot of us buying several sets before we find what we like or give up and settle.

I'm running Thunderheader slip-ons. Had their 2 into 1 on my Heritage as well as the slip ons on my 2000 RKC. I just like the deep rumble... they are loud too.

Rush slipons have a deep rumble, get the 2" baffles for performance, if you want more sound go with the 2 1/2" baffles.

About 3 weeks and 1,000 miles ago, I installed the Rush 2.5" slip on's. Really like the sound, very deep sound. So far no blueing, no rattles. Very pleased thus far...

Muffler choice is like taste in women or beer, they vary. I personally like my Rush slip-ons.
