I'm doing my first "engine build". Bike is 2009 Street Glide.
I've been running stage 1 with Samson True Dual exhaust. No Engine mods up to this point.

The build: Fuel Moto 107 big bore kit with level B heads, 10.5 comp. Woods 999-6a cams, woods night prowler lifters, Fuel Moto adjustable push rods, Fueling OE+ cam plate and oil pump, AIM vp clutch, Dyno jet Powervision tuner.

Most every thing is installed, so please no replies about why I didn't go with this that or the other cam, kit, company etc. etc. I chose Fuel Moto because of all the positive reviews here and elsewhere, and this is what they recommended.

I am wanting to go with a 2 into 1 exhaust but I am not a fan of overly loud exhaust, not a judgement, to each there own. I leave for work at 5:30 am in a residential neighborhood and prefer not to wake the entire neighborhood.

My dilemma, I ordered the supertrapp supermeg tunable exhaust system. The Fuel Moto site said it was for my bike but when I unpacked it there are no o2 sensor bungs installed. Turns out the system fits my bike but is technically for 95' to 06' model years. They do not make one with bungs installed for my bike.
Fuel Moto is being very co-operative and said I can return or exchange for something they carry. They suggested the s+s sidewinder which I like the looks and sound of but the sidewinder for my bike only comes in the 50 state compliant version ( catalytic converter installed)
I'm not trying to squeeze every bit of horse power/ torque out of this build and I don't mind leaving a little on the table in the name of DB levels, however I ride 2 up much of the time and I know the wife would not appreciate the extra heat.

Ok, so options. 1.Stick with the supertrapp and weld in bungs. I can weld and FM said they would send the bungs for free. 2.Get the Sidewinder and de-cat. Not sure if that is feasible or what it involves. 3. Get Sidewinder and live with the cat installed. 4. Jackpot RTX 2 into 1 with baffle and pack/ wrap to tone it down a bit. 5. Go with a 2 into 1 into 2 system. (I may be one of the few who actually prefers the look of 2 into one over duals and would like to avoid this option)

FM also carry's Rhinehart and Basani or I could take the refund and look elsewhere.

I realize that engine performance upgrades and trying to keep noise levels down don't really go hand in hand, but like I said I'm willing to leave some on the table.

I'm leaning towards option 4 the Jackpot.
Thanks for any advice/ input.

 

Hard to believe supertrapp aren’t having the oxygen sensor bungs installed. They certainly used to as I had that exhaust on a 2013 Road Glide

I say keep the supermeg exhaust and get the bungs installed. Everything else is a compromise on what you wanted and you’ve spent too much time and money to compromise now

 

Bassani Road Rage or Vance & Hines Pro Pipe with the tunable tip from FM or a quiet baffle should match your set up. I would consult the guys over at FM. They are an awesome source of information.

 

I haven't looked into the v+h, I think I've researched/ listened to every sound clip of every other available option. lol
Will do, thanks for the suggestion.

 

Thanks for the reply, I checked the supertrapp website and it doesn't look like they make that exhaust for my bike with the bungs installed. But I also find it hard to believe. Based on what you said, I'm going to give them a call.
A lot of this is new to me, so I appreciate the feedback.

 

Also, how did you like that exhaust on the 2013?

 

Myself option 1 is what I'd do
If your not sure of where to place the bungs ck with FM for some guidance on that

I vote to weld in the bungs and keep the exhaust you really want...and already have lol. Take them up on the offer for the bungs and verify location. Pretty sure you have the smaller 12mm heated versions that are farther down the headpipe...but it pays to make sure.

 

The Supermeg replaced another good performing 2-1 pipe. Achieved the same peak performance output, gained some down low and in midrange, and got the noise level down to what I liked.

I’ve gotta disclose I’m a bit biased towards this exhaust as I’ve had three of them. Local indy and tuner put me onto them as it was their preferred performance pipe for getting results
