Does anyone know if replacing the slip-on with a full system will reduce the popping from the exhaust? On decel I get a ton of popping (even with the stock muffler). I wasn't sure if that was a product of the catalytic converter or if the 2-1 system just does that.


Also, found out that Samson makes a whole bunch of different exhausts for the Switchback and sounds pretty good in the audio clips. http://www.samsonusa.com/Exhaust/Dyn...2-to-2013.html

I'm digging this one in particular:

D&D makes a FatCat full system specifically for the Switchback.
They make the best quality and best performing 2-1 system IMO.
You'll need a good dyno tune..

I have the Sampson Street Sweepers on my FLD and love them. Great sound and nice look. Very easy to install.

I also did the Samson Street Sweepers on my FLD. The fit was good too; easy to install. Got them with the 1.75 baffle and those have plenty of rumble. Not much on the low end rumble unfortunately. Still get some decel pop...

The other one I looked at was the V&H Pro Pipe made for the FLD...the sound bytes have it with low rumble sound on the idle. Sounded good too...

Vance and Hines makes a true dual just for the Switchback. Mufflers on both sides.
