I recently purchased a 2012 Street Glide with 12,000 miles on it. It seems to run very well and I am happy with it. One of the first things that I wanted to do is take off the stock pipes and go just a little louder with another set of slip-on mufflers. I purchased on ebay on set of take offs from a 2012 CVO. They do not seem really any louder than stock? In talking with reps at HD dealers, they were telling me that the new Screaming Eagle mufflers WERE louder than the stock. You can actually see through them with less baffles? So, I thought that take-offs from a 2012 CVO Street Glide would be the ticket........not so sure that was a good move.

Any thoughts or advice here would be appreciated!!

 

Pipes are a personal thing The CVO SE are not he same as other SE pipes offered.
You need to find a set with the sound you want before you spend a dime.
Straight though pipes with no back pressure sure are not going to run well.
I like the SE Night Sticks not to loud for me a different sound and look, they are tunable by adding or removing disks. The more you add the more they open up. Come in Chrome or Black
Click on it and it will play
20 feet at idle SE NightSticks stock headers with CATs still in

 

Look at Vance & Hines.They sound great(at least to me).

 

maggie do the set of se pipes come apart if they do fullsac performance makes baffels foe them and if they dont you can send them to um and they can install a new baffel give them a call n see what size baffel sizes they offer later bud

I have a set of the 1 3/4" baffles I'll make you a deal on that are almost new.

 

Good feedback. Thanks!

 

Maggie i have a set of the CVO mufflers. Just like you they sounded stock. Since i love the way the pipes look i bought a set of 2" full sac baffles and installed them. Sounds real good. Not loud. I had 3.5" rinharts and they gave me a headache. THe cvo pipes with full sac baffles did the trick. Pretty easy to install as well.

 

it isn't a bad move at all. those cvo pipes look good, can be had fairly cheap, and can be modified to sound pretty darn good. you've got someone offering you a good price on the 1-3/4 baffles. i would jump on that. i just got done doing the fullsac 2'' baffles on the wife's bike. bought the mufflers for 150, paid 80 for the baffles, so 230 bucks including shipping and she has a nice set of mufflers on her bike. they sound good enough that i'm contemplating doing this to my bike, and that is gonna be a huge chunk of change for me since mine came with a 2-1.....
