2010/11 wide glide slip ons
ok from what understand after reading the site all day
and correct me if i am wrong BUT
there are no slip ons that will make the sound better
on the 10/11 fxdwg because the cat is in the head pipe.
so in order to get rid of the honda sound
( actually my friends shadow is louder) i need to buy a complete
system.....
correct?

slip ons (such as Rush) should wake up the sound a bunch - a full exhaust, AC and Fuel Management system will wake up the bike. A lot of guys start with slip ons and then replace the full exhaust anyway. Consider that in your decision.

not true at all. you put on a set of rush or cycle shack slipons and it will be much louder than stock. those stock pipes are horrible. use utube to hear sounds.

I have Rush slip-ons with 2" baffles and they sound great. At first I thought they were almost too loud but now after having them for two months I want even louder

+1 on the Rush w/ 2" baffles.
I wasn't quite ready to go to a full exhaust and a little apprehensive to go to a full as I don't want to be too loud and get kicked out of my work parking garage.
So I bought a lightly used set of the Rush slip-ons for a less than half their original price and if I do decide to go full exhaust, I'll turn around and sell them, although I've added a scuff already from dragging them. As the video shows above, they sound a lot better than the stock cans.

I have a 2010 dyna wide glide with Rush 2" baffles and they do sound a lot better (deeper rumble) than stock. If you look at the after market mufflers you can see through them, not so with the stock ones. With my stock mufflers, the minute you started down the road the sound would go away, now I can here it through all the gears. Sounds like a Harley should.

is it possible or has anyone drilled their stock mufflers? i know on my nightster
before i bought my bub 7s i had been looking in to drilling the center baffle in the stock mufflers which a lot of the guys do for a deeper sound.
personally i just hate the thought of blowing money on slip ons and then still not liking what i hear only to have to add a full system anyway.
also the darn you tube clips just dont do any pipes justice but either way
thsi damn thing is just too darn quiet.

Here is the video of my stock mufflers with the rush 1.75 baffle installed.
