What are my opyions........
as far as pipes go? I see that Harley sells Screaming Eagle performance parts. Are there other options or would SE pipes be the best option? I'm looking for better sound and of coarse a bit more power. 08 Low Rider stock for now.
Thanksin advance

RE: What are my opyions........
Are you concerned about sound or performance or looks? Are your funds limited, or is money not a problem?
I would dare say most of the guys here have tried several varations of exhaust on their bikes trying to find what they want. Do a search here and you will find lots of opinions. U-tube has a lot of clips with the sounds of different exhausts.
You can get away with just slip-ons mufflers for under a couple hundred bucks. You can dump $1000 - $1500 or more in full exhaust with a EFI tuner and air cleaner.
My suggestion would be, if you just want sound, get a pair of Cycle Shack slip-ons to get the noise you want for now. Then, spend some time listening to other pipes and do some research before spending the bigger dollars.

RE: What are my opyions........
For now I would like a little throatier sound and better performance is always good. I own an 06 F-250 that I have modded every way possible so I'm somewhat hooked on the whole mod scene. I just don't want to do anything to void my warranty especially since I paid extra for the 7 year. I suppose slip ons and maybe a new air intake system are what I'm looking at short term.
Thanks

If you do the new air cleaner, you will also need to get a tuner for the EFI. The stock ECM can't handle the more air in-more air out. Air/fuel mixture needs to be richened up.
A thousand combinations out there for such a set-up. It is easy to jump-in guessing and not end up with what you want. Makes for a costly guess.

RE: What are my opyions........
The options are close to unlimited depending on what you want and how much money. I have the 2" Rush slip-ons, and really like the sound. I think they are better than the SE slip-ons. My second choice only for the looks would be the Vance & Hines Big Radius. I will leave the performance suggestions to others because I am satisfied with the stock performance from HD.

RE: What are my opyions........
Best bet is YouTube, as stated. That's where I went to hear all kinds of pipes. I settled on the Vance & Hines Big Shots Staggered pipes, HD Screamin' Eagle Stage 1 A/C, and the Vance & Hines FuelPak for EFI tuning.
