I’m looking at purchasing the 2018 Road King Special in vivid black. Previous bikes had Fuel Moto stage 1 setups. I like the deep rumble, throaty sound of the 4” Jackpots I have. Not loud but deep sound. Any recommendations in an all black setup to give similar sound/performance?

 

I think you’ve answered your own question.

I have this bike and just bought the wrong pipe, not happy with sound. The M8 is much quieter than the old twin cam bikes. Definitely gotta get rid of cat. I did the V&H hi output for all the same reasons you listed, low throaty growl, not too loud. It is too quiet for me

 

I did a Fullsac header and VH slip-ons. Fullsac also makes replacement cores for the factory mufflers if you want to make sure all the black finishes match perfectly still like oem.

 

I installed the RCX slip ons to a decatted head pipe
sounds awesome

 

We always suggest the Vance and hines slip-ons. Deep sound and have nothing but good reviews on performance. I attached some pictures for you ! Keep me posted if you want any more info?

I've tried several slip ons, and the Fulsac baffles in the stock mufflers, all with a de-catted headpipe. The only ones I've found that actually give you any semblance of the 103 sound are the Tab's with Zombie baffles. I know sound is subjective, but if you want any kind of deep sound, stay away from V&H. I love their stuff, but on the M8 they just don't have a good sound. Way too quiet, and almost no low rumble.

Just my 2c.

 

 

I run the Rinehart Slim Line duals headpipe and their Moto Pro 4.5 mufflers. Very nice deep rumble. It's a keeper and I have changed exhausts often on previously owned bikes.
