I have Rinehart 3.5's on my 2008 FLHTC, stock headers and stage 1, and am interested in CRF mufflers. Does anyone know how they compare in both sound and performance? Also sound at idle as well as cruising speeds...

 

I'd be happy to have a sound clip of them side by side. I'm considering this swap also.

 

Rinehart's are the go to pipe round here also.

 

If you want a better sounding muffler imo, the cfr's R!
I always liked the sound of a reinhart, but wanted a little more, throaty,meaty tone!
The 3.5 rineharts are a good performing x-haust.
You loose just a little w/the cfr's, not much!, but a little.
CFR's have a KILA-Deep, Throaty, PUNCH!
There is a you tube video of fullsac head pipe w/the cfr's on a 110 Scream-n-Eagle Fugly. Sounds Awesum!
You dont get that sound w/Reinharts.
Its a trade-off,...You give up a little performance w/CFR's but you get the Tone that, no-body around my area has got, they all run Rineharts.
Check out my pics on roadglide.org

 

Thanks how are the volume levels by comparison?

 

I didnt c your post on another thread until now, apologize for that.
Volume levels? at idle in the garage w/stock header and CFR's vs. Reinharts,...
You wont hear the Reinharts, xcept for that unique ping they give off! U-no that tinty ping?
Cfr's have no tinty-ping! Just DEEP-THROATNESS!
Same w/going down the road, you'll hear the Reinhart but not for long!

 

I have V&H Big Shot True Duels. I haven't heard the CFR's. I would like a deeper tones exhaust, but not necessarly louder.

 

CFRs have a sound no one can duplicate. they are in a class of there own.
