Gang:
Looking for some opinions out there regarding slip-on exhausts. I just sold my Sporty, which was a loud little pig! I had a set of V&H Straightshots slip-ons on the bike, which I loved.
I just went out and bought a 2007 Electra Classic. I am looking for some opinions regarding exhaust pipes for the touring models. I would like a LOUD set of pipes... the louder the better! I don't want to remove baffles, though... and they need to be high-flow for the Stage 1 that I will get done on the bike.
I am a fan of Vance & Hines, though some of the pipes for the touring models don't sound all that loud. I took a listen to the V&H sound bytes on their website, and I am inpressed with the Turn-Down slip-ons for the touring models.
A guy at a local HD dealership advised that he believed that the Rinehart pipes were louder and had a better sound. I have also heard a set of Hookers on a fatboy, which were sweet.
So what do I need? SOME OPINIONS REGARDING LOUD PIPES WITH A GREAT BARK FOR AN 07 TOURING HARLEY.
I look forward to hearing back from you... I want to get a set of pipes soon, but would like to make an informed decision. Cheers, gang! |

A buddy of mine has a set of V&H on his Road King... they sound awesome, but just not loud enough for me. I think he has the basics or ovals, though... | |

BELEIVE ME I HAVE SPENT OVER 2500.00 IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ON MY LOW RIDER AND ROAD KING GETTING THE SOUND I WANT.

| Well I ended up buying Rush slip-ons with the 2.5" baffles. Should be here this week... I will let you know what they sound like once they are installed. Supposed to be loud, and the price point was awesome. I'll keep ya informed! | |

| I have a set of Rush 2.25 on my 07 classic. They have gotten louder with use and I also installed a fullsac true dual conversion. They , in my opinion sound great at idle and when you twist the throttle they really scream.
