My Rineharts TDs are really starting to wear me out on longer rides so I'm thinking of getting some Monster Ovals to help mellow it out. Does anyone know if the MO's will fit on Rinehart TD headers or will I need to swap them out for V&H headers?

 

Mo's claim to fit any pipes oem or true duals.

 

I couldn't find any docs on the V&H website which say that. The Rinehart headers are 1 7/8" and stock headers are 1 3/4". I just want to be certain the MO's will accomodate the extra 1/8" diameter before spending the money.

 

Nothing a 1/8th sleeve won't cure...

 

the rinehart headers are bigger than stock, so there is no "one size fits all" muffler. rinehart i believe is one of the few that have a larger diameter header outlet on their true duals. if you wanna sell your rinehart mufflers from the true dual setup let me know, i have an extra set of rinehart TD headers that could use some mufflers.

 

That's good thinkin right there.. that's why i love this site... lots of good ideas my poor brain just aint capable of comin up with!

 

MO's won't fit the Rinehart TD headpipes without a modification. The Rineharts are 2in.

Another option for you is Rush. They are one of the few that make a slip-on option for the 2 inch headpipes. Rush also has 5 baffle options in 1/4 inch increments from 1.5 to 2.5 so you can much choose your level of volume. You can see and hear the Rush mufflers at rushracingproducts.com

 

the problem is you would need a sleeve to use a rinehart TD muffler on a stock header. you have the opposite issue, header will be larger than mufflers, thus sleeve will do nothing for you.

 

If you decide you can not get Monster Ovals to fit the TD headers, and end up changing your headers as well as installing the Monster Ovals. I would be interested in buying your Rinehart TD system.

 

Just did this exact change for the same reason - the Rineharts were just too loud on the highway...

Monster ovals did the trick (still nice deep sound, but not sharp or too barky, IMO) but, YES, the Rinehart headers were 2" and needed to be changed. Went with Dresser Duals from V&H. VERY happy witht the result - so will you!
