Mufflers installed today.
Well, I installed Rush Slashdowns w/2" baffles today. The idle sounds outstanding. These ****'s are LOUD!!! Seriously, I am not sure that I can stand the sound while riding. Maybe I will get used to them. I am wondering if maybe I should have gone with the smaller baffles but I like the idle sound so much I hope I can get used to the very loud sound while riding. I can hear them pounding on my ears and I wear a 3/4 helmet. I'll update in a few days if I'm going to be able to stand it or not. Did I say the sound at idle is OUTSTANDING.

Sorry, just had to post this. Let's see some before and after pictures. There's been a lot of chat around here lately about the Rush pipes and slipon's, Personally, I'd like to see a pair as I'm not familiar with the brand.

RE: Mufflers installed today.
tbone / guys
help me out ...you said "wondering if maybe I should have gone with the smaller baffles"
I don't know sheet from shinola re: 2", 1.75 or 1.5 baffles.
do you mean < 2" baffles = lower sound?
all I know is I gotta make my new FB sound louder (don't wanna wake the dead, just want a respectful H-D sound)...also want to maintain the same stock exhaust look if poss.
btw...I checked out the Rush site to hear the baffle sounds but they kinda sounded the same to me
thx
