CVO Exhaust
CVO Exhaust
Looking for a little more sound from the exhaust on my 2015 RGS. Not looking for something real loud but do want more sound than my stock exhaust gives.
Was told that stock CVO stock mufflers might be what I'm looking for.
Looking for opinions.
Thanks

If you have your stock header, the CVO cans may not be louder then what you currently have if your running the stock pipes.
Removing the stock header will do 2 folds, will sound like a Harley and not let your motor run so lean.
Removing the stock baffle in the CVO cans and replacing them with Fullsac baffles, and choosing the right size baffle will give you sound and preformance.
A Turner and Stage I A/C will be needed, but it will complete the whole package and add a smile to your face!
Good luck

The 12 had the inner pipe further inside than the newer CVO...maybe just a look diffrence but they offered a bit deeper sound...not really louder than stock.
I felt the look and a bit more depth in sound was the ticket.
Since moved on to the Cobra Power Flo and really love the overall depth and not loud at all.
For the used take off cost of the CVO muffs....I was happy.
Not loud or deep enough? Search cutting the baffle plug out...if you don't like the results...1 3/4 Fullsac

I have cvo take offs on my 16 RGS. 2" fullsac baffles and steel wraps. Was not much louder than the stock CVO baffles. Deeper. Just a tad louder. I gutted my cat and now they're perfect. When I put them in the bike all stock with stock header the tone changed but not the volume.

I run stock CVO cans. Tried them for a while with the stock headpipe, and they were a bit louder and deeper than stock. I'm running them with a Fullsac DX pipe now, and they're about perfect.

Thanks to GlidinJoe on this forum, I just added CVOs to my HXS. Now I've got the sound I've been looking for. I'm too old for real loud so my Chromeworks were too much, Street CAnnons were close but still loud for me on the road. The cvos work just fine, a little deeper than stock at low speed and just enough bark on the road.

CVO, Screaming Eagle one in the same. Not really louder than stock muffler just a little deeper and really sound good after the 10,000 mile mark.
What others have failed to mention is they have twice the holes in the center baffle so a little better performance wise setup.
