Proctous do you getting any popping on over run?

do the mufflers have a cat in them?

I assume they will void warranty?

thanks for info I was leaning toward those

DI.allen,

I ordered mine directly from Rinehart. Although they were supposed to be over 3 weeks out for shipping they arrived in less than 2 weeks. Mine have the Black end caps.

No Cat in the Rinharts. Sound is good. Loud when you accelerate, good rumble while you cruise. Was getting some deceleration poping, but that seems to be getting less and less. Just 2K on my bike so it is still breaking in. As the miles go on I'm actually feeling a difference as the M8 seems to be purrrrrrrrring better.

My bike is a 107 and I did the Stage I breather upgrade and tuned with the H-D street tunner. Then installed the Rineharts. Dealer Service said no concern as long as I used the Street Tuner. The slip-ons made no difference to them. Now that is the dealer, don't realy know what would happen if I had to have major warrenty work that H-D had to approve. (I kept the OEM pipes in case I have to put them back on to meet a warrenty concern.)

On this, and some of the other threads, you can find that the Rinehart Slip-ons for the '18 Heritage is about the most popular.

Enjoy and Ride safe.

Was going to say the same things. I have going near 7K miles now. Sound and engine noises are improving as it wares in for sure, especially wen trying to find Neutral at a stop. For warranty stuff. Look no one goes strait to HD for issues. you go to a Dealer, Get to know your Dealer and techs that are going to work on your bike and ask them questions. I would say 98% of them wont care if you add a Slip-on aftermarket exhaust. and really I haven't heard a single issue ever that has been linked to a muffler change. Now yes certain states have different laws, there is no federal all states rule with loud exhaust or emissions, only Cali as far as i know, but were i live we don't care. just keep the stock parts and slap them back on if there was ever a concern, and with slip-ons, thats 15mins and 6 bolts.

Default Tired of the buffeting??

Just listed a new set of fangs in the classified section if anyone has been thinking of pulling the trigger on some. I have already drilled the hole for the 2018 bolt pattern. Also listed the OEM screen I cut down from 17.5 to 11.5. Puts your head in clean air w/zero buffeting and looks really cool to boot. I've just decided to run it WS free and need some cash for a new helmet.
