Louder and deeper mufflers
#12
I love my ThunderHeaders but as mentioned earlier...you have to hear them for yourself. What I like may be completely different from what you like.
That said - When I bought my bike it already had Screamin Eagles on it. It took me no time at all to look for deeper sounding exhaust. I listened to many including most listed in this thread. I chose TH hands down.

I had your exact setup when I too decided I wanted a little more. So I dumped the V&H Fuelpak and SE slipons for a PCV, Jackpot Dyno Tuned mufflers and a SE Heavy Breather. All I can tell you is that this is a great combination of parts without getting into the motor. Won't break the bank either. Call the guys at Fuel Moto should you decide. You won't be disappointed.

All the stage one does for you is increase the rev limiter to 6200 RPM and alters the timing, and adds a less restrictive HD SE air cleaner. Does nothing to the fuel management. The current SE pipes are all basically stock pipes with a bit more sound.
If you want more deep sound with better flow may want to look at the new "Jack Pot" pipes from Fuel Moto: www.jackpotmufflers.com they will give you the tone you are looking for without the "jack hammer" noise while cruising.

I ride a '09 Road Glide with Screamin’ Eagle slip-ons, a stage 1 air cleaner and it has been remapped. I like the perceived increase in power and the sound is only ok. I’d like the sound to be tad louder and deeper. I’d like to change the baffle to accomplish the louder & deeper sound without a loss in power, what would be your recommendation?
Use a drill bit that is 0.190" (or larger, just watch the depth of drill) in diameter to drill the center of the existing 3 pop rivets. Drill slowly so you can just drill the center of the pop rivet head only. The rivets are stainless steel, so use some light oil to help lube the drill bit. Once the rivets are removed, simply slide the existing baffles out and then slide in the new ones. Once in place, use a sharpie or pencil to mark where to drill the new holes. Remove the baffle to drill on a table or workbench. I used a center punch to carefully punch the center so the drill bit wouldn't walk. Once the holes are drilled, re-install the baffle into the muffler can, slip in a rivet (supplied) and pop it with a pop rivet gun. CAUTION- Use safety glasses when popping the rivets. After installing the rivets, replace the end caps.
The Cycle Shack is a 2" baffle tube and is louder and more free flowing. definitely worth the money and time to change.
Good luck...
