It might be worth it to try the Short Slash Up/Down Tips (Part number 65100062). Mine is de-catted and the Street Cannons got louder with age. I switched from the long Slash Up/Down Tips to the short ones and it made all the difference in the world. Brought back the low rumble and the bark when I hit the throttle, with no issues at 80 MPH listening to the radio.

There was a thread about this subject before Christmas where somebody experimented with ways to take care of this problem. The consensus was the Short Tips were the way to go. I switched and I'm happy

The stock exhaust on Rushmore touring bikes sounds amazingly good under load. At highway speed you can hear it but its not obnoxious. I want to listen to the radio not the exhaust with cruise control on on the interstate.

That Plastic Pig receding in my mirror thought the same about my V&H ProPipe. His loss.

Thank you!
I cheated and changed to stock CVO mufflers on my SGS but think along the same lines.
