First off, I know that this has been posted before somewhere by someone else, but I can't find an answer. But it's the age old question of changing out the exhaust. This is my first Harley. I have a 2013 Iron 883 that words cannot say how I love it. The only problem is I don't like the sound of the exhaust. I like that nice low rumble when you're stopped at a stop light. The obvious answer is to change out the exhaust. However, I love the look of the factory pipes. Are there pipes out there that look the same but with a deeper rumble that screams "I'm a Harley Davidson"?

 

Cobra, Vance & Hines, Cycle Shack, HD Screaming Beagle all make slip on pipes that will help get you what you looking for. Many other brands too.

 

If you like the look of the stock pipes, then go with a set slip on mufflers...tons out there to choose from too.

DavidC,

Do your stock slip-ons look like a tapered design with the majority of the taper at the end cut off like a baloney cut? I never understood why the MoCo did this but I guess they just had a pile of tapered style factory slip-ons and desided to try something different...looks kinda' odd to me when I consider that my bike, an '09 Iron, came with full tapered slip-ons.

To my knowledge, there are no aftermarket slip-ons or full systems that emulate this 2013 year baloney cut-tapered slip-on design. But there are aftermarket entities who offer the earlier tapered factory slip-on style...

The rare bird that I am also loves the looks of the factory exhaust, so I did a full tilt search for possible examples and found the Khrome Werks 3" HP+ slip-ons to be virtualy identical in looks to the stock tapered slip-ons, but unlike the factory silencers, these have a healthy and deep rumble at idle, and open up nicely when hitting full throttle from 65+mph, but not extremely loud at any given RPM by any means.

And a pic or two of them on my ride, a Brilliant Denim Silver '09 Iron, starting about 1/4 the way down the page:

From the pics you can see that they're absolutely indistinguishable from the factory slip-ons for this model year. Their fit, shape, workmanship and chrome finish are all superb...they can be found for around $250+ and are totally worth it IMHO. 'Worth at least a consideration...
