I have them and am very happy with them. I had other slip on mufflers before I added a cam. After the cam change they were too loud. These are just about perfect in the way they sound and perform.

I have them on my Stage II 2020 FLHCS 114. Replaced a set of Rineharts that were too loud for my taste. Go for it. You'll be pleased.

I got them on my '18 Heritage 114. I've been pleased with them. The Heritage is a vintage/classic style motorcycle and I felt that contemporary slip-ons just didn't fit it - aesthetically - as well as the OEM bullet mufflers. The ACE mufflers are a good compromise in my opinion. They maintain the look of the Heritage and they improve the sound. Sound is not obnoxious - which aids in maintaining an enjoyable riding experience. They have a little deeper tone at cruise, and they speak up a touch when rolling on the throttle. They seem just about perfect to me for this application. Performance? We'll I've never seen - or have been able to find - any dyno sheets for them. All I can say, my butt dyno hasn't noticed any negative performance hit after their install.

That's my impression as well. My butt dyno says they make slightly better bottom end performance than the other slip on mufflers I was running.
