The quite baffles for the HO slip ons are supposed to knock the loudness down about 5 db. But as loud as they are, even with the quite baffles, it still may be too loud for some.

Also, realize that changing the headers will make anything louder.

Actually, that wasn't my point.

My point was that when you have 500 different suggestions based on personal opinion, they tend to create so much confusion to the OP that they become basically worthless. It all becomes white noise. Then, what purpose has the thread served?

20 guys said the V&H are the best...no wait, 22 guys said the Rineharts are cool...oh no, toothdoc said I should mix the Rineharts with the V&H headpipes because I'll get 1.67 more HP and a foot pound more torque! I'm so confused, what should I do?

Hey doc, is it safe?

Actually........... I vote for a catless headpipe of any kind, and vance and hines mufflers. Period, I know nothing about Rhineharts. I think all will agree on here that the cat in head pipe must go. That's the main point to take away here imho.

I just helped my son put the same setup on his 2011 SG White Hot Denim. The header is chrome and he got the ceramic black slipons (looks awesome). These have the deepest rumble I've ever heard on a bike but like this post says, only loud when you want it to be. I'm not into loud that much but I rode his and had no problem listening to the tunes while cruising at 70. BTW you might just try the header first because I installed his OEM slipons on my '09 Ultra (no catalyst) and they are noticeably louder on my bike than they were on his. Louder than my OEM set also. Not sure why but I'm not complaining considering I got just the volume I wanted for free.
