Muffler final decision

I've got to get mufflers put on my 08 lowrider I cant stand the sound of stock anymore. I know I want RUSH mufflers just not completely sure on what size 1.75 or 2.00. I'm looking for that low deep rumble, louder&nbsp\\;but not&nbsp\\;abnoxiously loud&nbsp\\;harley sound and at this time thats all I'm looking&nbsp\\;for so I dont want to worry about remapping or get a programmer due to being to lean. One last thing, I've read reuse the old clamps and some say get new ones so which is it and what about torque values when tightening&nbsp\\;those clamps?

Typically the smaller the ID, the higher the pitch.

I've heard the 1.75's offer more torque,and almost as loud.

Can't post a long response.&nbsp\\; www.epiflex.com has sound bytes.&nbsp\\; 45 to 55 ft lbs.&nbsp\\; Get Permatex Ultra Copper high temp sealant for mufflers.&nbsp\\; I've used stock for a couple of changes and no problems.

I changed to the Screamin Eagle IIs that a dealer had as takeoffs on Ebay.&nbsp\\;BTW, they were in perfect condition.&nbsp\\;Couldn't beat the price at aroud $75, they are slash down, and a much better sound than stock.
