Must just be me and a few old outlaws running Thunderheaders. Mine are black and sound as good as any I've heard. Subjective? Hell yes, about everything.

I had a Thunderheader, it was ok.

That doesn't look like a TH in your sig-pic.

He thinks my bike sounds deeper, I think his bike sounds deeper. RCXs were about $100 cheaper, both are equal in quality. I know for sure that my bike is not obnoxious at 70~80mph, but when I crack the throttle 2 gears down from cruising in 6th it barks with substantial authority I can't wait till I can install true dual headers one day for more performance and even better tone
Those RCX slipons do look pretty nice.

Had Rinehart Duals thought they sounded good deep rumble. Switched to Rush Duals and CFR's, deepest sounding there is but crisp. You can't even compare Rineharts to CFR's. Didn't have much more in the duals and CFR's than any other decent system. $370 for Rush ceramic coated true duals and $675 for CFR's. But if you don't like loud don't get CFR's they do bark.

Default Mgs

I just switched from rush 3.5" with a 2.25" baffle to a set of MGS slip ons with the loud baffle. All I can say is they are deep. You can feel it in your chest at idle and they will bark under acceleration. Interesting thing is at 70 or just cruising they are much more quiet than the rush. I love them. I bought a B set and could not find one thing wrong with them. Best 300 bucks I have spent. This is on a 09 Ultra with stock head pipe

Also, I don't want LOUD, just a nice deep rumble when pulling away from a light, and a good loud growl when opened up.

Freedom Performance might be a good option.
My setup may not be the most economical solution, but I was looking for the same thing as you. I went with Vance & Hines OS450 And Power Duals. Great low rumble, sounds great when you get on it, but not stupid loud at speed.

Last time I'll buy Rineharts, my first set was 3.5 extreme true duals and the heat shields on the head pipe did the same thing but those mufflers still looked great. These are the 4" Rineharts with V&H dresser duals both installed the same day.
I have 4" Rineharts and kept hearing a rattling sound at idle. Last time I cleaned the bike I noticed the baffle in the right pipe would turn, so I decided to pull out the baffle for a look. While removing the baffle some rust chips came out and after reaching in the pipe to clean it out I ended up with a handful of them! Repeated the same for the left pipe and cleaned out about 1/2 as much.

I had V&H slash cut slip-on's on my old 2000 Ultra for many years and replaced the baffles once.


With the '13 CVO, I went with the Rinehart XT True Duals w/4" mufflers when I had it dynode.
At times, I'd like them to be a bit louder, and I thought about installing the "Performance Baffles", but once I start cruising they're just fine, and in fact, a bit too loud when I wear a modular FF helmet.
Seems like the exhausts are right next to my ears!
