Default Anyone run Jackpot 4.5 touring mufflers?

Looks like im getting a set this weekend from a generous friend. I havent heard them though.

I will just add the mufflers, no intake or download. Will that be fine?

I just needed a lil something more than stock sound ..

I've got them and they sound great. Deep and throaty and they really rumble when you roll on the throttle. Getting rid of the cat makes them even sweeter. They are not overly obnoxious like some others I've heard. YMMV

I have similar experience. I also removed the stock head pipes and installed the ceramic coated pipes from FM when I did the Stage One.

One thing I did not want was either the high pitched cracking of the pipes or the constant drone. The 4.5's exhibit neither.

The one negative to the 4.5 Inch Jackpots is when I back up against the curb, I have to be careful as the pipes are a larger diameter and if I don't watch it, there's not enough room for the bottom of the exhaust to clear the curb.

Other than that, excellent exhaust!

Fuel Moto Jackpot mufflers are a great option and very popular among the ridership here.

I have the 4" Jackpot Dyno Tuned mufflers on my 2011 SG and I love them.

The 4.5" Jackpot Pro Touring mufflers are a different design and sound.

Apart from the visual differences, I would compare the sound differences thusly:

  • Jackpot Dyno Tuned mufflers sound like a motorcycle.
  • Jackpot Pro Touring mufflers sound like a muscle car.

Have the 4.5" Pro Touring with FM head pipe on my Limited. I love the sound. They are a bit louder than I would prefer but people riding around me have had no complaints. The sound is deep enough it does not hurt your ears like some loud pipes. I've seen them compared to the 4" Rineharts in sound. Butt dyno seemed to indicate an increase in torque when I put them on. I think the left side pipe along with the crossover is slightly restricted to create more of a 2-1 pipe. Have been running them about 15,000 miles but have not updated my signature pic yet.

FuelMoto has 3 video/sound clips of these mufflers on their website:
http://www.fuelmotousa.com/harley/ex...-08-flh-p.html

Go to the bottom of the page and click "Video/Sound Clips" tab, and there they are. I have the 4" Dyno Tuned mufflers on an otherwise all-stock motor/exhaust and I love the sound. The 4.5" ones should be a little deeper.

The Fuel Moto demo's are not very representative of how the Jackpot Dyno Tuned mufflers really sound. Check out these demos of the 3.5" Jackpot Dyno Tuned mufflers on stock head pipes:

The muscle car analogy is bout dead on I'd say.
