I bought a 2008 Street Glide about a month ago, and it has rinehart exhaust that is on it. The bike sound is not very loud, what is the best way to change the sound without buying new exhaust? I also have a 2007 Street Bob with V&H long shots and it sounds great.

Does the 08 have a cat in the headpipe? If it does get it cut out or replace.

 

08's did not have cats

your option to open her up is to see if someone put a baffle in it

I have True Duals from Rine and they are nice and loud, in fact others in my riding group say TOO LOUD when I get on it

do you know if you only have slip ons, or are they full exhaust?

 

The head pipe is 1 3/4" O.D. and I would bet they are slip on, but I really don't know. Does rinehart make different baffles for the slip on?

 

Rineharts have baffles inside but no packing around them. Maybe someone put some fiberglass batts inside? Mine bark when I get on it.

 

I've got an 03 with the true duels and they are not very loud either. A buddy ripped out his baffles and it sounds good but I don't want to lose back pressure.

 

If it has the stock head pipe you will get more sound by going true dual. If you don't want to buy a new pipe, fulsac sells a kit to cut your stock pipe and convert it to true dual. They actually work well.

 

Remove the original Rinehart Baffles, and install the Big City Thunder Baffle that is correct for your head pipe. Corrects the backpressure loss from removing the original baffle, and gives them a touch deeper rumble. Very Loud.

 

If you go Rinehart true dual head pipes you will need new mufflers to match the stepped two inch headers. They also make high flow baffles.

 

Yeah x 2- they have larger 2.5" baffles that are louder, assuming you have the stock 2.25" baffles.
