Default Looking for exhauste advice...

I have a 2005 Ultra Classic... I'm a little disappointed that it does not have the "Trademark Harley sound and feel." *(my previous bike was a '93 Classic with Screaming Eagle pipes with Turnouts). I've joined this forum to see if anyone has any advice on how I can make the bike sound more like the Traditional Harley with a bang and a bark to it - yet still be legal! I'm afraid people will think I'm riding a rice-burner (how disgraceful!) Thanks!

I have an 2004 FLHCTUI with Vance and Hines Oval Slip-Ons and they sound perfect. The "Old Classic" harley sound is not really there because the old bikes had single fire ignitions on them and they really let you hear the engine lope. You'll enjoy your new bike with the new mufflers if you listen around and hear what you like and then buy that muffler.
