Default '09 Street Glide stock exhaust swap for long rides; need advice!

I'm a newbie with mech skills..

I'm planning on "temporarily" swapping out my Big Radius on an '09 Street Glide and need some advice:

Are the stock mufflers the most quiet mufflers available?

Are the stock exhaust gaskets the best ones to reinstall if I think I'm going to be swapping often? Is there any other prep that I can do to make the job easier?

I have SE204 cams, Heavy Breather a/c, and it came with an SEPST without cables or software. I assume I need to buy the cables and software? Does anyone recommend a good base mapping?

I used to own a '32 Ford in my hot rod days and always loved the header plugs. 3 bolts on each side and voila, open pipes. I've never seen or heard of anything like this for Harleys, has anyone else?

Thanks in advance!

If you want adjustable pipes, supertrapp supermegs or the made for screaming eagle nightstick or fatshots.

replace the "security" screw with an allen head and set them how you want.

hard to find, but the snuf r not is an open/close end cap for the supertrapp system. ( this photo shows some motocross version on the muffler)

I have some.

supertrapps can be about as quiet or loud as you want.

the disc system allows high flow, while breaking up sound waves, diffusing them, rather than shooting tinny noise straight out the back.

their website can give you good info



this shows 4" supermegs, which I recently replaced with modified nightsticks ( which I found cheep!)

Plus 2 for the Supertrapps. Adjust the sound and performance however you want!

Ocezam, you'll notice I use a plate ( plain SS end cap) mid-stack on the left side, and 6 'dummy" discs.
That way I get the same length both sides.
I swap used discs around to get even color both sides and for the dummys

I use 15 right and 9 left in town for torque and add a couple each side for long interstate trips.
