Best Pipes for Road KIng
Ok, just picked up my new 08 Road King Classic. Nice ride, but a fan makes louder sounds. So my question is, any ideas on best pipes for her? I mean as in louder. Slip on's vs full pipes? Just from a safety standpoint. Louder is def better.

I'm planning on putting some 2-1's on to the 03 RK I'm getting. Have the V&H 2-1 Pro Pipes on my Dyna now - great sound, great performance.

I don't know what would make a certain pipe be called "the best" one. I think one could quantify the loudest pipe. Or maybe the most expensive, or the one that increases horsepower the most.
Anyway, I have Screamin' Eagle pipes on my '02 RKC. I love 'em. They sound really great and are quite loud, but are definitely not the loudest pipes that I've heard on a Road King.
I'm in complete agreement with Uncle Don's advice: Vance & Hines, Rhineharts, or Screamin Eagle. No fish tails!

Sorry Stubby0032, I just re-read your original post and noticed that you did in fact say you wanted the best "loud" pipe. Don't know the answer to that, but a guy I rode with last week, had V&H on his RK, and his was noticably louder than my SE pipes. Good luck in your search.

Too bad HD doesn't put on "louder pipes" as stock equipment. Wonder how many stock pipes ended up in the dumpster? An Electric Glide drove through town today and I though it was a Honda(it sounded like one) Harleys need to sound like Harleys

You got that right, Uncle D... I'm sure there is some stupid legal reasons that require H-D to neuter their stock bikes to remain in compliance with something or other. And yet virtually nobody keeps those stock pipes on their hogs. (In my circles, I don't know of anybody with stock pipes.) What a waste.
