I've had good luck with Rush myself. My first bike with Rush had Chrome and 10K over 2-years and no flaking whatsoever. Running Black on this one and seems to be a good coating as well.

Samson puts out a good mellow tone, but not sure about how well the Chrome holds up.

 

I had the bassani 4" megaphone slipons and I loved them! They had a nice deep tone to them. The Chrome was good on them also.

 

I have had Bub 7 TDs on my '08 for over 20k miles with no chrome pealing or any other problem. They seem to be very high quality and the sound is sweet but a little on the high side.

I had HD Touring slip-ons with caps on my RK and the chrome pealed on the bottom where the cap meets the muffler. The caps on the low side / left side were replaced 3 times under warranty. On the third time the wrench asked me if I was using S 100 Cycle Cleaner. I was and quit using it and never had another problem.

The problems occurred on the low side cap where even after drying the bike the moisture containing S 100 residue would collect and drip. That stuff is harsh and corrosive. If you use it you know that it will leave white spots unless it is rinsed very well. It you have stock zinc hardware it will corrode it as well. To me there is nothing better than good old fashion car wash, containing a mild soap and a water softener, that you can buy by the gallon at Sam's.

steveh326 said and mattlal Are you guys using S 100?

 

I do not use S100. I tried a bottle of that stuff a few years ago and realized how bad it was, and threw it in the trash. I use regular car wash soap. Can't speak for anyone else, but in my case it was just a poor chrome job. I have enough experience from chroming parts over the years to know good chrome from bad. Like I said in one of the previous posts, it looks to me like they had a bad batch of chrome somewhere along the line.

 

Windex here - and only once. 500miles on them.

Bub7 will warranty them? I will have no problem sending them back
