Hey guys. I'm debating going ahead and ordering a set of V&H for my Heritage. I'm not in a position to do a full exhaust replacement so debating going with a slip on option to at least give me a decent sound and look.

Though they aren't the highest dollar option, I've read the Straightshot HS slip ons have a decent sound and great look. Anyone have any experience with them or can tell me if they are good? Also, I see it has removable baffles so if they aren't quite loud enough, would taking the baffles out be too much?

These are the ones I'm referring to:

Also, with doing slip on mufflers, will a Fuel Pak be required to be purchased as well?

 

I'm doing the same thing with my new Fatboy and according to my dealer you don't need change the stock fuel system; bike will be delivered end of next week so can't tell you much more about it right now.

 

Tagging this thread, I'm in the market for slip-ons for my Heritage, too, also considering Rush... and exhaust modifications alone shouldn't affect the AFR so stock fuel front end stays unchanged...

 

I bought my 2003 Heritage Classic 3 weeks ago and it came with Screaming Eagle II slip ons and screaming eagle air filter with K&N filter and it ran like **** on the 150 mile ride home and the decel popping was crazy. I put a power commander 5 with a map from PC for my set up and it smoothed out the bike and all but ended the popping, so you might find you may not need one but might want a Fuel Pak or PC5

 

That's a different story; as soon as you start to change the air intake you almost "have to" change the fuel intake etc. For slip ons where nothing else is changed there should be no need to change anything else.

 

Around this part of the country Russ is the most popular slip-ons (get the 1 3/4 baffles). for a little more low end torque in an other wise stock motor. -- or 2'' for a little louder, I got the 2'' baffles because I knew I was going to add HP-AC and cams..

Just saying at least check them out.. you can hear them if you click on the sound bites at the bottom.

I've had mine since the 1k service back in 07, that was 51K miles ago and I still like them.. they have a deeper and throatier sound than most V&H's and if you really get on it, they will set off parked car-alarms when you pass by.
