Slip-on Muffler Help
Ive had my 23 Street Glide Special for six days after moving up from a 16 Slim S. While logging some break-in miles, I had two cars within a 20 minute span decide they wanted to share my lane and Im fairly certain its because they couldnt hear me. Didnt really have that problem with the V&H short shots on the slim.
With that said, given the myriad of options, what slip-on mufflers would you recommend for a deeper, moderately louder tone? I understand Ill need to listen to videos and try to hear them in person, so Im just trying to narrow down to potentially viable options.
No plans to replace the entire exhaust or do any stage upgrades, so performance isnt a concern. Just looking for the bike to sound good and make sure cagers are aware when Im in the lane next to them.
Thanks!

I have the DBX45s as well and really like the sound. You made it 6 days on the stockers? If think I hade it about 6 minutes. I bought the bike in February and had the dealer deliver it due to snow and ice on the roads. The Rineharts were waiting in the garage and went on immediately, I never even rode it with the stock slip ons.

My first mod was going to be handlebars, but I may do both around the same time now.
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
