A buddy of mine just purchased a 2012 Road King and it looks to have stock headers and V&H Hi-output slip on mufflers. He loves the bike but he says it is way too quiet, sounds like a goldwing (surely not). I am guessing it has the optional quiet baffles installed because he is the second owner. Does anyone have any insight they can share to help get a louder sound. I wonder if the stock baffles would make that much difference???

Thanks,

 

Put power duals on it, this eliminates the cat in the header, Will sound like a harley should.

 

I installed D&D Fat Cat 2 into 1 system with the standard Baffel about a month ago. LOVE it, looks good, plenty loud. Little more hp and torque. cant go wrong I think.

 

Sounds like he's got him one of those Honda Davidsons...

 

Remove cat. Much better sound

 

If he wants to keep the same equipment, I'd suggest checking V&H, otherwise there's a lot of other options.

 

Here's a vid of a 103 with a Stage 1 Air Cleaner, the cat removed, Rush slip-ons with no baffles, and some W258 Thunder Torques Inserts.
