My 2018 came with Rinehart Racing Pipes installed. Sounds pretty good and I would guess since they installed them, the warrantee is not an issue.

You can't install slip-on mufflers, without voiding the factory warranty?
First I've heard about that.

Slip-ons shouldn't be a problem. My dealer puts Street Canons on several new bikes in the showroom. Their showroom demonstration is what sold me on the Street Canons. Nice sound but not too loud.

There have been a few threads on the EPA & HD warranty. My take on this is that the dealer can do the SCs (HD name on them) with out issue. Any other brand will likely have a warranty issue with Mother Harley, this is where some dealers will cover them if they do the install and another dealer may flag the vin #. At least this is how it looks to me.

Mufflers are not an issue. The local dealer will install all sorts without any mention of warranty.

Everyone has a different idea on what exhaust note they like.

The video below is not a TG, but it is the M8 engine, and as you can hear in the video, it still has a nice (for EFI) v-twin sound when unchoked. (this mod will work on your TG as well)

Doing this mod really frees up some of the hidden power, it is also pretty loud.

Here is a LINK to other more moderate Slip-on upgrades.
