Default Looking for Pix on Newer 2018 and up Fatboy exhaust

Picked up a new anniversary Fatboy and need to get some sound out of it. Let me see what you went with and how you like it. Did you get any extra power out of it as well?

I just went with V&H slipons. Love the sound.
Running the stock tune and have no issues with popping.

Don't know about extra power with only exhaust because I had Stage 1 and 2 done at the same time. These are SE Street Cannons. My 60+ year old ears like them. Louder (and most importantly deeper), than stock but not anywhere close to being obnoxious (to me or anyone else). The tips on these are much nicer than the stock tips, both around the outside and from behind, around the pipe itself.

Looks great! Do they sound deeper than stock? Do they have cats in them? Any pick up in power anywhere?

Wow, that looks stellar. Did you pick up power without the cats? I know these M8s like backpressure.

I have the same exhaust. No cats in them. Best sounding exhaust I have ever had. When on the throttle the roar is there but when cruising they are not annoying as to give me a headache.
Didn't replace the AF so didn't use a tuner (see Doc. Harley's vid). Runs great no popping.

Default Bassani Road Rage with Pic this time!



Love these, not real loud for general riding, bark pretty good when you get on it, great low end grunt.
