Slipons Question.
Hey all!!
At risk of starting a pissin match over what is best or whats not.
I just wanted to ask If cycle shack slipons were decent pipes?
And will i \\;need a remap. <\\; As far as i know the remap only raises the rev limiter anyway..
I tried the search but the boards are flakey these days and i was hoping for some feedback from those of you who have tried them.........
 \\;Thanks, \\;

RE: Slipons Question.
You are going to find a lot of varying opinions on both the mufflers, and on the need for re-map.
 \\;
I think most will tell you the Cycle Shacks are a good set of mufflers and sound good for the price.
 \\;
A re-programing of the ECM should not be necessary with just a change of the mufflers. \\; If you change the A/C or go to full exhaust, then you will need to richen it up.

RE: Slipons Question.
Cycle Shacks are loud. \\; Too loud for me. \\; I've also had the S/E IIs and Khrome Werks 3"+. \\; Khrome Werks had the best performance, but sounded kind of blatty on an 07. \\; S/EIIs had good sound and good performance. \\; All of the three I've tried had good fit and finish. \\;
I've also heard D&\\;D makes a good slip on. \\; As far as re-map, these bikes are already running very lean. \\; I wouldn't want to push it. \\;

RE: Slipons Question.
I have an 08 FXDC and I put V&\\;H straightshots and added the quiet baffles and I think they are perfect ...are they louder than stock ..Yes Way louder ..but if I run it at low rpm \\;\\\\\\; 2000 -2300 as I roll down through my neighborhood , they arent that bad, and the extra backpressure from the baffles yeild very little popping/Backfire .....Nice deep tone with good low rpm torque

RE: Slipons Question.
just bought the cc m-129s slip ons and they sound great for a good price. Mine aren't too loud at all.
I did no re-mapping...

I just put on the V&\\;H Straightshots HS Saturday on both my bike and the wife's Sporty. Wow what a difference. I put the quiet baffles on mine and she has the standard baffles on hers. \\;

RE: Slipons Question.
The standard baffles make her 883 sound a little tinny but way better than stock. I really like the quiet baffles on my 07 FXDWG. Nice deep throaty sound, like a Harley should have. We are getting quiets for hers too. No Remaps we will see how it goes.
