SuperTrapp 2:1 or slipons will give you the deep throaty sound you are looking for and they are somewhat quiet so you can hear the music and your honey on the back! Take a look and shoot me an email with questons!

I have to agree….drilling holes in the baffles is not only redneck but it will sound terrible.

I’ve run about every pipe ever made and I would agree that Vance and Hines are a bit loud…some love it though….too loud is very relative.

I can say this though…the Rineharts are noticeably quieter than the Vance and Hines but it’s a bassy exhaust note, so it sounds good in my humble opinion.

Also being fuel injected or carbureted does not make a difference in what you can do…it just changes what you need to do. Most carb’d bikes will need a reject while most fuel injected bikes will need some kind of EFI tuner.

The tuners are a snap to install and if you can plug in a lamp…then you can install a basic EFI tuner.

First of all check to see if the bike is carborated or fuel injected makes a big difference on what you can and cannot do. I have the Vance and Hines Straight Shots with anti revision cones, Simple but very effective for the sound and look I want.

I have vance & hines on my wide glide and they sound great.Not too loud and a good deep sound.

If you drill holes in the baffles it will sound like you have a small air compressor stuck in your pipes,They won’t sound good like that.

rineharts…much better sound in my opinion. vance and hines are a bit too loud for my taste

I like the Rinehart tru-duals.V/H chrome i’ve had bad luck.My Ultra sounds great,installed hi-flow air intake and flashed ECM for stage-1.It helped a bunch.

drill a few 1/8 inch holes in the baffle. Be sure to check the plugs and if it’s too lean fatten up the jets………..

screaming eagle pipes sound good, just remember to rejet the carb.

depends on if it is fuel injected or carb. You have to be carefull. consult with your dealer first.

vance and hines or rienhart’s are 2 very popular brands. some like the true dual rienharts on their road kings, some prefer the bark of the vance and hines. go to harley chat group and look around.
