Need some suggestions. My brother just bought an 05' Road Glide with EFI. The bike is totally stock. He isn't going to do any engine work on it at this time. He has a 92' FLHS with a stroked EVO, so he has his go fast bike.
On the Road Glide all he plans doing is installing a high flow breather and new slip on's. Any suggetions on what slip on mufflers to go with would be appreciated.

As CHUCK stated,endless list...
I would consider something tunable such as Supertraps,Hookers,or Bassanis(JMO).I like the "slash-up" S.E. mufflers that were in the '03/'04 parts-accessories books.They follow the lines of the bags.
You can go on e-bay & look at other Roadglides to see what styles & brands of pipes you like best.Good luck!00 wildglide

Rush Mufflers are all the rage now.
JMO I'd go with a set of V&H True Dual Headers, it lowers the temps on the bike big time by removing the cross over.
Any slip on will do, just remember he needs to get it tuned or it will run too lean with both pipes and filter change.
Rush, V&H, Khrome Werks, Wild Pigs Wild Pig Pipes are USA made in FL and are inexpensive, $200 or so, sound good too.

Rush are nice slip in pipes, butt.
If you want somethin a little quieter than the rush look at the Supertrapp SE slip in mufflers.
Git on Ebay and look at American Classic motors . They have the best prices you can find

If you just put pipes on you don't have to remap. Its when you change the airbox out to a high flow that you let more air threw the new pipes. This is when yer bike starts runnin lean and you need to remap.

Actually that's not always true, there are mufflers that will scavange better than others and get you extremely lean.
SE HD mufflers are pretty restrictive, a deeper sound but still restrictive.
You have to check and be sure, I recall a test in one of the magazines where they simply changed mufflers on one of the delphi bikes some ended up with AFR's in the low 16's which is way too lean.
YOu will go lean with both, no doubt.
