    Hi Kids. This is my first post on this gizmo so please bear with me if I screw up. I ride a 2002 FLHRI with stock pipes and it's way past time to install a pair of better sounding and performing mufflers on it. I really like the Vance & Hines slip-on Ovals but I also like the V & H slip-on Classics. I'm lookin' for a deep-bass low sounding rumble as opposed to a higher tinny crackle. Which of these two mufflers will sound like what I'm hoping for? Would you recommend any other manufacturer for a better sound and/or performance. What about H-D Touring mufflers with the ability to change the end-cap style? How do the H-D Touring mufflers sound in comparison to the V & H Ovals?
    Guess that's more than enough dumb ???'s for one post, huh?
    Thanks for your help,
    Peter

    If you go to V&H's website they have sound clips of all their mufflers. That is how I decided to buy my oval slip ons.....good luck

    No such thing as dumb ??? IMHO

    Hi Peter,
    Beauty is in the eye of...you know where I'm headed with that one...However for what its worth.... I've got a 2003 Road King S.Eagle, came with S.Eagle slip-ons, & they were too soft/mild for me. I was accustomed to Python3 on my Super Glide (loud), so first I put on Hooker slip-ons & did like the deep sound & tunable part, but wanted some more increase in performance & bought BuB Rinehart true dual system. I may stick with the bub pipes & go back to the Hookers? I got the performance increase, but again a bit soft on the sound for me! I just ordered optional baffles for them...hoping to correct my wants/needs. Not sure if this is any help for you, however i will strongly urge you to listen b4 you buy, if at all possible! It will save you some $$$ Best of luck!! :)
    Steve
