I'm also looking to upgrade the exhaust on my new 06 Road King...love the sound of Reinharts but hate the costs. Looking for pipes that aren't loud but have that geniune deep harley sound | |

| I just put the Big Shot staggered duals on my FLSTC.
Seem a little louder than the Screamin Eagle Slip on's that were on there but sound much better.
Nice thing with these is you can put in Quite Baffles if you think it is to loud. | |

| If you ride alot with the windshield on , loud pipes can drone on and on and on,
A good quiet set of performance pipes are the SE slip ons, they will be your quietest option.
V&H are very good sounding JMO but louder.
A good bet is to go to a bike night and listen for something you like then ask the owner. | |

I just installed a set of V&H true duals with V&H slipons on a customers bike. A deeper sound that the Rineharts, not quite as loud and they really have great fit and finish. Gonna replace my stock headers with the true dual I was so impressed. | |

I have a 03 FLHRCI with the SE Slip on Touring mufflers. I still have the OEM heads on. I love the sound and have been told by other riders that they think they sound good too.

| I have an '04 FLHRI with V&H Oval slip ons, a Ness Big Sucker, and a PC III. I have been very happy with the sound. | |

Stteet legal in all 50 states. Louder than stock but not too loud. I will sell them to you as I have gone back to stock pipes and no longer want these. Let me know. | |

| I'm runnnin' Screamin' Chicken Intake and Slip-ons...sounds great and runs great. Once I finish jetting the CV (with RIGHT size this time  !) it will run just about like a scalded dog. I love it.

| Reinharts for duals, or if you want to spend $$$, LSR Black Hole. | |

Just did a 95 big bore with ported heads on my 05 FLHTCUI and V&H truduals to my old Hooker tuned slip-ons. Sounds great but is way too loud now. Looking to change the slip-ons to Rinehart but not sure if they will be any quieter! Anybody have any ideas? Going deaf. | |

| I did a few trials before ending up with Kromewerks slip ons. I ended up with their touring lite slip ons on my stock headers on a 05FLHTC. A tad louder then stock, rated for good performance with a little bark at WOT. They also have removeable baffles that you can repack or change to fine tune the sound or a performance baffle they offer if you desire and the best part they are made in the USA 
Thats my 2 cents!

Installed the V&H Ovals and V&H true dual head pipes. Sounds great and I think just loud enough.
I had the screamin eagles and thought they were not loud enough. | |
