Default E-series, or TBR? Who has one?

Looking at different exhausts, narrowed it down to a couple.

Near the top of my list is an E-Series from Fuel Moto. Have yet to hear a bad thing about them. Seems the DB range is louder than factory at 96ish but not nearly as loud as a FatCat (108db) which was way too loud for my taste. The E-series seems highly adjustable and well finished/made from what I've read and seen online. My only real concern is having it be too quite. Hard to gauge off of Youtube.

The TBR is also being highly recommended... but I'm not a fan of a carbon fiber end cap.

I'm looking for low and mean sound, but also something that slaps you in the face when you ask it to... just not when you're trying to cruise at 70mph. (The e-series seems to be highway drone free, a big plus). If it was a car I'd say I'd want it to sound like a Ford GT I heard, a low grumble when cruising that lets you know it's "big" and then a pissed off T-Rex when you WOT.


Any reviews on either? If you're around Seattle I'd love to meet up to actually hear one in person.

Btw, anyone know the Stock DB rating for a Lowrider S? I'm finding mixed answers.

If you're looking at the e series you may as well consider the supertrapp supermeg exhaust which is pretty much the same thing. More of them around if you want to hear the sound in the flesh. My runs 25 discs with open end cap and it's not quiet. But it's also not obnoxious and drone free on the highway.

I have the E Series 2/1 universal on a pro pipe header. The E is much deeper and quieter than the pro without the drone. It will still bark when you get after it but quiet down after you reach speed.

Here's another quick video of the e series after it's got a couple hundred miles on it.

Sounds almost like my Supertrapp Supermeg.

Love that sound.

From what I've seen it gets up to 96DB, less than things like the Fatcat (103-108), but I'm thinking it will be right about where I actually want it.

Like it quite when I want it quite, and angry sounding when a Prius goes for my lane, lol.

Thanks for posting those videos. They're actually really hard to find.


Looking into the Supermeg as well. The E-series does make some extremely nice numbers and you can get it with a PowerVision for under $1000, hard to argue with that when you need a chip too.

I have the E-Series 2-1 on my 16 Road Glide. With just that, a stage 1 AC, and a tune with the PowerVision. I am getting 95HP/110TQ.

The sound is nice. I am running mine with 15 disks and a closed end.

I live on the eastside if you want to hear it in person, let me know.

Have fun,

-PB
