Congratz on the new bike.... Bet you cant wait to put rubber to the road

 

I just traded my 08 Pearl Black Fat Bob in on a 2011 Vivid Black Street Glide 103 2 days ago. It's got 15 miles on it (I'm out of town right now). Can't wait to get home and put some miles behind me!! When I bought the FB, the list of things I wanted to buy for it QUICKLY got long. There are only 3 things I need for that SG; louder pipes, 12-16" apes, and backrests for rider and passenger. If you figure out what pipes you go with make sure you post cuz I have no clue what to go with. I had 2" Slash Down Rush Slip On's on the FB and really liked that sound, but I want some with a deeper and slightly louder sound. Have fun!!

 

Check out this, has sound bites to.

I'm actually happy (right now) with the sound of the 103 and stock pipes. The VH power-dual headers with Rinehart slip-ons was on the top of my list. But instead, I can do some of the other things on my list (4 point rack mounts, seat, etc). It's a win-win!

 

I had 3" cycle shacks on my Fatbob, and It sounded pretty good. It had a good rumble to it, and was fairly loud when I got into it. I'm with you though, I'm looking for a deeper sound from my new bike. I like the sound of the V&H Monster Rounds/Ovals. My only concern is if they'll be loud enough even if I pair them with the V&H power duals.

 

Was thinking of getting rhineharts or vance and hines. Found a new company mgscustombikes.com these pipes seem great, torque and horsepower improved dramatically( watch video of tru dual exhausts). Also going to get an arlenn ness big sucker and a power commander v. Let me know what u think.

 

You may want to ride it stock for a while. I think the 103 sounds pretty good in stock form and it will get a little louder as the miles rack up. It is a little louder and deeper than a 96" Street Glide, plus you can still hear the tunes on the radio. I wonder how a set of SE slipons would be?

 

I had the same question as you. I had ordered a 2011 SG w/ the power pack. started listening to every 2011 I could find -- pipe that I settled on was the Rinehart xtreme true dual. By going this route I also got rid of the catalyst in the stock head pipe -- the resulting sound was perfect, (for me) Your going to really like that bike -- have fun

 

listen to the 2010 limiteds to they have the 103 also...

 

I ended up going with the 4" Rineharts. I bought them from Jamie at FuelMoto. They sound a lot deeper than stock, and a little bit louder. Now I'm considering new head pipes, but I'm going to need a new air cleaner and programmer at the same time. Those stock head pipes with the cats, must be horribly restrictive.

Right now I'm considering either FuelMoto's 2-1-2 pipe, or the Vance and Hines Power Duals. I really like the idea of the cross over chamber, to help equalize the two pipes.
