Installed Tab Performance slip ons with zombie baffles on a '20 FXST and they are loud and sound good to our ears and keeps the stock look config.

It probably can't harm your bike, only your eardrums. What modifying the exhaust will do is void your warranty.

The boy wanted LOUD and he got what he asked for. I can hear him coming on the highway about a 1/2 mile out and have the garage door opened for him. Let me know if you need any other questions answered

Why does everyone think just because you have a new bike that means you can afford to drop cash into it right away? It's easier to get a new bike than you think, go easy on us cheap bastards on a budget.
