Default Installed my Monster Ovals today

WOW! What a great sound.

Over the winter I installed a PCV and a K&N intake. A few weeks ago I picked up a 2009 cat-less header pipe. This made it sound more like a H-D should sound.

This morning I installed my new Monster Ovals. I love the sound. Not too loud, not snappy or too much bark, but a nice low deep rumble that growls when you open it up.

Some people on the forum have said the MO's sound too much like car - they're right - think late '50's sled but without the bounce.

That is what Im running. Very nice muffler for cruising, even better when you need to pass someone and get thier attention. I work afternoons, so I dont want to wake up the neighborhood these are a great compromise.

I have had my MOs in for a couple of months now and love em. Great sound but not too much, still lets me cruise and hear the radio.

my buddy has them on his '10 SE Ultra and everyone loves them. they have the perfect blend of sound and quiet. quiet enough when cruising and then they open up when the throttle is nailed. i would get them on my street glide, but i'm even tually going to put on extended bags. btw, he put v&h headpipes as well.

Yep, they are terrific! Thinking about a pair for my new Ultra Classic. Had them on the Road Glide and they were the perfect solution for me!

Wait till ya put a few thousand miles one 'em, they sound even better! Showed off the ovals to my Brother last year, while revving the engine he said it sounded just like an Olds 442 he used to have. Sweet...

Mines have been on for a 10,000 miles and they sound real nice...a little louder than new. I'm running them with V&H Dresser Duals and a SE 255 cam.
