Decided to go with the Rineharts today as I know it would have killed me to go with anything else since I know and love the Rinehart look and sound. Picked the up from Eastern Performance since they have them in stock...Fuel Moto said they did not and Eastern was slightly, although negligibly cheaper.

Thanks WT, I can't wait for them to arrive! I'll have to get crafty and post a video somehow. I need to get a video riding down the road with them since I haven't seen anyone else with one but since I'm a solo rider, that might be a little tough without some sort of mounting contraption.

Did you get just the slip ons or the extreme true duals? I do love my extreme TD's but the chrome shields are not that great and you need gloves to check your oil and trans fluid when hot. If you just went with the slip ons your cat will kill some of the rumble of the rineharts JFYI. Enjoy, I think down the road i'll be looking at getting a new head pipe.

Good choice, I found a good deal for the whole system and jumped on it. It's ok for now but i see a fuel moto 2-1-2 headpipe in my near future as well.

Just when I thought I made up my mind...
Ok I have heard the new 4" Rineharts in person on BigDaddyMike's bike. They sound really good. Nice deep thump with a good hollow pipe sound to them. I have the Jackpot Pro Touring. Bought them without hearing them. Figured I would take a chance. I love 'em. They have a very deep thump (a little deeper than the Rineharts) to them that has gotten a little deeper with miles. They are not overly loud either but they have a nice deep growl when you twist the wick. You can easily hear them but they aren't annoying. Keep in mind I am going by my particular set-up which still has the stock head pipe with catalyst. From all accounts they will get a little louder and even deeper with free flowing headers. I actually could deal with the sound the way they are now but I really wanna hear them talk with new headers. Oh and I know how you feel about the tapered design. I wasn't sure how I would feel about them but I have actually grown to really like them. And the end caps are just the icing on the cake. Here is a thread of mine on the Jackpot PT's with pics and video if you wanna take a look.

I gotta admit I was a little torn between the Rineharts and the JP's. In the end I chose the JP's because of the unique look, the radical end cap, and the assurance from Jamie that I would love the sound. Completely happy with my decision.

The pipes do sound awesome but I just wasn't sure enough about the megaphone style and I'm not going to risk 15% restocking plus shipping fees to find out. Megaphone is an older style and isn't really new and it makes me wonder why they chose that design to go to market with. I guess to be different.
