FXD Pipes
I just bought a 2008 FXD. I love the ride. I just have one complaint about it, as seems to be a common problem I'm hearing, and its just that the thing is too quiet. I know to meet EPA standards, these bikes come out Lean from the factory. Are there any inexpensive ways to change this? I am eventually going to get some slip ons. Anyone have any suggestions? Someone mentioned to me that I could try and drill the baffles but I'm a little wary about doing that.

I agree on the Rush 2.0 slip ons. As I said in another post the low end rumble and resonance are better than any pipe I have ever heard. Yep, they are loud when you nail it but at cruise they are fine and you can feather it to a degree when big brother is around.
When you hear the bottom end of a Rush pipe nothing else will sound good.

Will do. I just wanted a temporary fix while I save up some cash. I'm a brand new owner, making it on my own. Unfortunately my budget is limited. Thanks!

RE: FXD Pipes
PM a forum member named Trotter. He has several set of slip-ons for sale in the classifieds.
He used to be a Dyna fan and owner before he suffered from a rare andbrain damaging illness, which ultimately led to his purchase of a Softtail.
I don't think his post lists the prices he is asking for the different mufflers, but he usually is extremely reasonable just trying to make room for new inventory in his basement.
