Bought a used street glide with se slip ons. Sounded like stock. Pulled baffles, removed packing and replaced baffles. Still quiet. Removed baffles, cut a large section off, replaced baffles. Not much change.

Question....will going from stock headpipes to something like v&h and using these slip ons change the sound for the louder or should I be scrapping them for a full set of big shot duals?

Thanks for the help

FYI ..... Don't care to hear about too loud and loss of torque arguments.

 

Get you a set of Rinehart TD's. You wont be disappointed!

 

I have the Rush 2.5 Slip-ons and they are pretty loud and deep sounding.

 

You can find slip ons that are pretty loud. I'm assuming you bought a used 09 or older without a cat in the headpipe. If not, you won't have much luck getting it louder. That cat is a sound killer for almost everything. If you have an 09 or older rineharts slip ons are decently loud, pretty much most true dual set ups, thunderheaders, CFR's, many others. Big shot duals are loud if that is what you want. Rinehart true duals are pretty loud and sound good too.

 

jrstar, go with Vance and Hines 2 into 2 Big Radius, and an Arlen Ness Big Sucker a/c, that is a great setup...will drown out any other noise except for the loud exhaust...they will hear ya comin!! Had it on my 08 Fat Bob before I traded...gained torque and some ponies too!

 

cant believe nobody asked what year bike ,does it have a cat?if so thats your problem.

 

No CAT. 2009

 

look at my reply above...that setup would do you well..

 

All I have to say that I love loud pipes too, but what I can tell ya if you see a no Jakebrake sign when you come into a town the will nail ya just like a semi so I suggest a higher gear to keep the pipes to a minumum. Food for thought cause it happened to me. They are really breaking down on loud bikes.

 

This is why i love Rineharts, they are relatively quiet until you twist the throttle then EVERYONE will hear you. Makes your bike sound like a harley, not a ricer tryin to sound like a harley!
