Hello fellow riders, I'm new here, just bought myself a new 2012 Wide Glide. Does anyone have any suggestions on changing my exhaust. I'm new to the harley world, but not riding..thanks...

 

Are you looking for performance, sound or looks?

 

If your looking for ideas I would find somewhere locally to meet up with other riders to see what kind of sound your looking for and the look as well.

where I live we have a noise bylaw my exhaust will not pass but I've never have gotten a ticket being in town I avoid the areas they target the most.

 

I have Rush slip-ons with the 2 inch baffle and would recommend them to anyone. Wish I would have went with the 2.25 inch is my only regret but the good thing about them you can change the baffles out. Also with the Rush slip-ons you don't necessarily need re-mapping. Just my opinion.

 

you would need a tuner or remap ect... if you change your air intake to a high flow with your exhaust or it will run lean

 

True but only have the Rush slip-ons at this point and she runs great.....some are running the high flow air filter without a tuner or remap and using the AXIED with good results. When I do change to the high flow I will go with a tuner.

 

Offshore,

Welcome to the Forum!

We offer various exhaust styles and setups, take a look at our exhaust page for different options.

I hope you find what you're looking for, PM me if you have any specific questions.

Ryd Safe!

 

I just ordered the 2" Baffled Rush slip-ons for my 2012 WG. I wanted a more traditional Harley sound, without being much louder than stock. The rush is about as close as I could find. The only other option was rush baffles in the stock mufflers which I am told also works nice.

I also am having the stage 1 AC put on and a tune from the dealership. I should have it back by new years...

 

+1 What I think sounds nice, others may not. Also make sure you are comparing apples to apples ie: same bike (88 ci or 96c i), other mods, etc.

 

Welcome aboard Offshore,
There are so many threads in the search files on Exhaust for Dynas etc.
Exhaust...like others have said is pretty much a personal thing.
Look for the style you like, the sound you like and think about your plans for future Mods. If you do improve your exhaust, then you'll want to look into high flow air and then its a must to do a Tune...or like some of us have done Night Rider's Xied's will get you a reasonable Air/Fuel ratio.....until you decide to do additional Mods. Slip-ons will allow some performance gains, but if you are serious about Torque and Sound....consider a full Exhaust System upgrade.

Have Fun and Ride Safe
