Default 4" Rinehart slip on

For a stock Sport Glide. My S G has the cat in the muffler. If I put on the no cat Rinehart, air cleaner will stay stock . My concern is lack of back pressure { Rinehart said this muffler was made just for the Sport Glide to give back pressure and control reverberation noise} Did not say anything about popping on deceleration.
Any one on here tried this slip on for a stock bike.???
If I need to take it back to the dealer, with no aftermarket tuner this should not put out a red flag.

I am running a Rinehart 4" and stock air cleaner on my Sportglide. It's a 2020 with 8000 miles and runs great. Sound is a bit loud with some very minor decel popping which I have no issues with. This pipe was installed at 350 miles before I knew the bike, so I can't comment if reduced back pressure has effected torque. My only problem is that I live in an area with winter and can't ride this Harley till spring.

Thank you, sounds promising. I'm in Michigan. Next week they are telling us about 4 days in a row over 62 to 64 degrees. That's good enough for a few short rides. Did you need to buy a new gasket for the slip on?? In the add for the new mufflers it says to get a new one.

I was able to reuse the gasket, but have since bought a new one. The pipe will have to be removed for wheel removal soon,necessitating a new gasket.
