Default Slip On Decisions

Hey guys looking to add some slip ons to my 2015 limited.
Had S/E slip ons on my 2011 liked the sound not obnoxious but let people know you were there,
My 2005 RK had reinharts true duals which had a great sound but that was also punched out with big bore kit.
So I am looking at Vance & Hines 4 !/2 super rounds and then later on hi flow cleaner to complete stage I.
Any thoughts on what has best sound in your opinions appreciated thanks.

Very happy with the looks and sound of my V&H twin slash rounds. Nice deep sound and not too loud at cruise speed.

I agree, I've always like the twin slash ovals... I like the sound of both the rounds and ovals but I always thought the ovals filled the space better.

Very happy with the Harley Street Cannons I put on mine. I also left the stock Head Pipe with the Catalyst on the bike. Other folks on other threads on this forum say that if you're going to get rid of the Catalyst the Street Cannons loose their appeal. As for now, I like the Idle and the sound when I crack the Throttle. At cruise the sound is minimized, but at the same time noticeable, just not so loud that it interferes with the tunes. This may be the first Harley I've owned, and I've owned a few, that I leave the exhaust pretty much stock. Never thought I'd say that!

I have vance and hines monster ovals. absolutely love them. I plan to change the head pipe and tune later. hopefully my sound will not change much with the header change. I just want the headers to lower the temp caused by the cat.

Do you have any issues with the monster ovals hitting the ground in a turn? Also - See if you can get the cat cut out of your stock head pipe... cheaper than a header change and it will solve your heat problem.

Get a tuner first, next get rid of the Catalytic Converter, then buy your mufflers. Thank us later.
Go to your local dealer listen to all the Bike, find one that sounds good, and ask the rider
what mufflers they are running. Most Bikers love to talk about their Bikes, never hurts to ask.
