Default Time for an exhaust! Need advice

I'm looking into an exhaust for my 2012 Harley street bob

I don't want to replace the headers, just looking for a slip on.

Any body have any advice on a good sounding deep tone exhaust?

cycle shack. best sound in my opinion for a simple slip-on. Better sounding and cheaper than V&H.

I found some used V&H slipons for 50 bucks. I added the "quiet baffles." They don't really quiet them down, but make the sound low pitched and rumbly.

why don't you want to replace the headers? You don't like added performance?

Rush slip ons with the 2.25 baffles then later full 2-1

Rush make great slip ons as the others have said.
I went a little different route and got cobra slip ons. I like them for a few reasons- great quality, the tips they come with are able to be rotated into slash down, up, in between whatever you want and locked into place. Also the baffles are easily removable. I wound up getting a set of BCT QQ baffles (they install in the exit of the headpipes) and removed the cobra baffles- killer sound and performance. I'm a happy camper. While there are a few great looking full systems out there, I like the looks of the stock head pipes and didn't feel like changing them out right now

Rush slip-ons with 2" baffles. Deep and beefy Harley rumble without being crazy loud. Also top notch quality all over. I've had them on my Street Bob for three years now. Smiling ever since. Just my two euro cents.

cycle shacks sound good but you will get alot of popping if you dont use a fuel management. rush sound good if you like the sound of a touring bike, to me not a good sound on a dyna. vance and hines sound ok. but again, might get some popping. for 300 bucks you can get short shots and look good and sound good, but you need fuel management because of the popping. just go get what you like, not what we like.

Sorry but I disagree with the whole slip-on muffler idea. take it from someone who has lots of parts sitting on shelfs over the years including rush slip-ons! As soon as I heard I could get more performance from a complete system those rush were coming off. buy what you really want now.
