I forgot to mention, or maybe I did? I had the same issue with my lower Eliminator muffler. Had to tap it on with a block of wood, rags, and a rubber mallet had to do the same to turn it by tapping on the mountain bracket. It sucked ***! It's on and it looks and sounds great but if it ever has to come off, it's getting replaced with a full header!

They're not the only pipes to say that. I have the Tab slip-ons with Zombie baffle on my 2020 Heritage 114 and they are the best sounding pipes I've ever had on any of my past HDs. Don't worry, they're legal.

I took off the S&S Grand Nationals. They are excellent slip-ons, well-built and efficient, just a little too quiet for me. Louder than stock or Screamin' Eagle though. The other recommendations on here are good pipes too. Tab is the best though.

I am sure you knew I was joking right? I was poking fun at the current state of our society "we can say or do or sell anything as long is there is a disclaimer so you cannot sue me"

I had pretty-much decided I would go for the TABs with Zombies. But the bike I ultimately purchased had Rineharts. That would have been my second choice. The bike is still at the dealer getting mods. I'll share my opinion after I take delivery and get a few miles under my belt.

I have always been impressed with them. I was a little disappointed on a test ride last year. I wanted more volume. But that is just me.

That said, the 2019 Heritage I just purchased has them so...
