    I've seen them and heard them. They are a quality muffler however the sound it not as loud as the V&H or Rinehart's. For a set of slip-ons they are not bad. If I was looking for another set I would think about them.

    Any idea what size baffles were in the ones that you heard? I have been told to consider the Rush pipes with 2.5" baffles, which is one of the least restrictive pipes available.

    Just ask me how CONFUSED I am about all this now? I'm worse than a woman trying to pick out ONE pair of shoes from a possible five pairs! (Sorry, Hot1...)

    Sorry I don't know the baffle size were on the bikes I've heard with the Rush mufflers. The pipes sounded good but they were like I said not as loud as the Rineharts or the V&H pipes.
    The quiet baffles will not produce the HP gains of the others. I also know after talking with Mike Stegmann that the smaller the dia. pipe the less HP gains and if a pipe has a tip on it that can restrict the pipe size even at the tip it also can affect the HP output. He told me that even when putting on a new header and gasket that if you over tighten the bolts pushing the gasket further in that, that can also reduce the opening size thus reducing HP gains again. He was a really knowledgeable and interesting guy to talk to. Sure glad he is here in the Portland area.

    By the way, most women I know have a lot more than 5 pairs of shoes to choose from. :eek: :D

    Loud pipes,,,

    Recently installed Hooker true duals with the tuned slip ons on my 04 Road King Classic...They are loud!! loud, loud!! Even on the torque setting which is the quietest!! Lots louder when on the HP setting!!! also have added a K & N air filter and I can hardly believe the difference in power from these pipes.. Have ran Cycle shack, Kirker, Vance and Hines,Screaming eagle and probably a few others and have found nothing that boosts the torque like these Hooker true duals..Have a pcIII on order.. Should help a bit more I hope.. Good luck to u!! Inthewind56
