I'm in the process of upgrading my 2006 Street Glide from stock to Hillside's 98ci package. I am already planning to add FuelMoto's PCIII for tuning, but I am really debating what, if anything, to do about my pipes. I will be keeping the stock headers, but I can't decide to keep my Rinehart 3.5 slipons (about 3 years old) or get the new Jackpot Pro Touring slipons. My main concern is how much power am I giving away if I keep the Rineharts? How much louder are the Jackpots? Any thoughts?

Thanks, Paul

 

i just put 525 cams in mine and the rinehart 3.5 got a little louder but still sound great
i think that if you are increasing displacement sound will change i would wait and see what it sounds like and what kind of numbers you are producing before i go and purchase another pipe because you may find the perfect paring with what you have
and if not then you can buy the jackpots just my 2 cents

 

Keep the Rineharts. They are just fine.

 

I'm happy with the sound of either pipes. I've just heard a lot of talk that the Rineharts cost a lot of power. I figure if I'm going through the effort of building the engine, I don't want to just give power away on the pipes. Especially I'm concerned about low end torque.

 

Somebody's blowing smoke. I have the FM 107 with the 3.5 rineharts. Ask jamie how it did.

 

Actually, Keith was the first person to say the Rineharts would be fine. Figured it never hurts to hear other opinions though.

Thanks

 

I have Rineharts on my 09 RG and just put jackpots on my 98 RK EFI. I like sound on both bikes with the jackpots being the quieter of the 2. When the rineharts need to be replaced I will go with another set of fuelmoto mufflers.

 

I've never heard anyone say Rineharts lose power- unless your talking about true duals, as the consensus is that true duals lose power down low.

If you're just talking slip ons, the Rineharts have always been known to do well power wise.
