Hi guys,

Just wanted to get some feedback on this subject. I recently installed rush slip-ons w/ 1.75 baffles.

I recently went into my local Harley dealership and met up with a guy that had a softail deluxe (i have a 11 heritage) and he had V&H tru duels. I asked if i could hear his exhaust and he mine. We where both surprised that my bike in idle was noticeably louder then his. I asked the guy if he has quite baffles installed and he said no he had the stock baffles that came with the pipes. Didn't think anything off it and went in to the dealership.

When i was leaving i met up with two dudes just parking, one guy had roadking (98 police RK) with Sampson tru duels and the other a softail with Vance and Hine true duels.. again mine was louder and they even asked me if i removed the baffles off my pipes.. I said no i'm suppose to have one of the quieter baffles from rush.

So i've been thinking maybe when i ordered my pipes they might have given me 2" or 2.25 baffles. I also notice i'm getting decel popping after reading tons of forum threads your not suppose to get decel popping with 1.5 or 1.75 baffles.

My question is are rush 1.75 suppose to be that loud? I've tried comparing the sound to the you tube vids rush put up but can't tell.

my bike is stock with just the rush muffles (for now), those guys have at the very least stage ones setups that i can see.

 

I have an 09 Heritage and went with 2 road 3 hours and my ears were raining like crazy. Pulled baffles and stealer exchanged them for 1.75 even though I bought the Rush online.
I know hard to believe. Pipes were great but now 3 yeas later way loud. I need to pull and rewrap the baffles good luck.

 

I have the 1.75 and they don't seem that loud.

 

I have the 2" slip ons and mine are not crazy loud, tho my right ear rings a bit after a long ride.

 

Ya i like the Rush..Going to install them on my Fatboy Lo eventually! I drilled the stock mufflers last summer just the first layer didnt go all the way threw.. and sounds better so im kind of content with my stock set up as far as sound goes but id like to get the Rush for better sound and cause i want black mufflers on my Lo.

 

Ya i like my rush exhaust too. I'll pull one of them out and measure it.

Thanks

 

I had 1.75 and replaced baffles with 1.50 because 1.75 seemed to loud to me. And YES, you will get popping.

 

My 1.75's have gotten louder with the miles, about 3K now. They are pretty damn loud I think, but I love 'em!

 

Been running 1.75s in my stock Heritage for over 4 years and have never had any popping. Wife has had them in her 08 Deluxe for about 2 years and she also has never had any popping. I think the pipes sound just about right. They do get louder over time and if the baffle packing burns out which mine has done once, they will get a very obnoxious and chitty sound to them.

 

I have a '12 Heritage with Rush 1.75s. It's loud, but not so loud that it's annoying and it sure does pop a lot.
