I am new and have 2013 Fat Bob. I have been around Harleys for a while and just finally bought one of my own. I have heard all different pipes on bikes and have to say that I like the Rinehart sound the best of everything so far. Just looking for good advice on an exhaust system that is fairly quiet at idle but has a deep sound when on the road. Any suggestions of exhausts I should research? I've seen a few good things about Thunderheaders exhaust but don't know much about them.

Any and All help will be appreciated

My V&H Pro Pipe with quiet baffle does exactly what you described. Not obnoxious at idle but a good solid growl at speed.

There was a post a few weeks ago in which a guy made some video comparisons of the Pro Pipe Vs the D&D Fat Cat (another option you should look at.) I haven't heard the Rinehart's in person, so can't provide an opinion. They have a good rep though. Maybe a bit expensive.

 

Here you go. It was comparing the Bassani Road Rage against the Pro-Pipe.

You should look at the D&D too if you get a chance. Their stuff is very well made and they sound great.

Still love my Pro Pipe though!

 

Check out the Bub 7 (from Bub Rinehart). Great ground clearance, nice deep agressive tone that wont rattle the neighbors until you get on it. I picked mine up for under 500.00 (sig pic)

 

Awesome advice so far but i forgot to mention i am looking more towards 2-2 style/sound. I haven't heard of the Bub7 and honestly....im a bit confused by it haha. Is Bub a company off Rinehart or just a specific type of Rinehart exhaust?

With the video, the Bassani actually sounded better than I had expected. The V&H pipes are actually really nice sounding. Part of me was trying to stay away from Vance and Hines just b/c everyone gets them.

 

Youtube is your friend.

 

i love the sound and look of my v&h straighshots (full system, not slips). a nice rumble when idling, but they scream when you twist the throttle. another good choice would be the big shot staggered again, by v&h. one note on the straightshots though, on a 13 you have to put bungs in the 02 sensors and use something like a fuel moto micro tuner that doesnt need the 02's. that's how i'm running mine and it runs flawlessly.
