RC Components or Rineharts?

I had RCX pipes on my last RK, and loved them. Rineharts sound good, but will they drive me crazy on long rides? HELP! LOL!

are you stuck on one or the other? or what about other brands?
I have installed on a few bikes the Vance & Hines true duals, and believe it or not the Kuriakyn "crusher' mufflers. sound real deep but still not too loud, owners have all been very happy. Not a fan of kuriakyn stuff, but their mufflers a very well built, and I have one guy that has had his for some 3 years and no bad side effects, just one of about a million suggestions you will get here

I'm pretty happy with my set up. The Monster Rounds may be a bit louder then I would like, but have a nice tone at cruise, and we have no radio to get in the way of our sound.

If you're going to keep the stock header, they would probably be just right.

I have the RC Components and they sound Bad Azz! They are super loud but you can definitely hear them and they have a nice deep sound to them. If I go on a long ride I do throw in ear plugs though.

It's kind of funny. I just picked up my 1200 the other day and it has Viper slip-ons. My 883 had V&H and the Vipers sound louder and deeper. Which, at idle, sound great. They sound fine riding but this has made me think about how annoying they'll be when I travel.

Since I'm returning the red bike to as close to stock as possible, I'll be removing the V&H and might use them on the 1200 for when I travel. Even though they're a bit loud too. I have ear attenuators, but during a couple of thousand mile trip, the droning can get fatiguing.
