RE: Rush slip ons, BAffle size?
Thanks for the feedback. I thought it was the length of the baffle since I have hear stories of guys sawing the baffles to a shorter lenght to free up volume and make them louder. Your feedback is appreciated.
Question. I am looking for the deep bass whcih I heard the Rush slipons have. I am concerned only with Rush and not other brands. I am also looking for one level louder than the Rineharts. Which size should I get. Based on my searches, owners have recomended between 1.75 and 2.0. Your thoughts?

RE: Rush slip ons, BAffle size?
I had a set of Rinehart true duals on my 06 FLHT first and did not like the sound. The Rineharts come with 2 1/4" baffles stock. I switched to V&H "Dresser Duals" with RUSH mufflers. I ordered them with 2" baffles but the came with 2 1/2" baffles by mistake. For me the 2 1/2" are too loud. RUSH swapped out the baffles for me when they found out about the mix up and sent me the 2" baffles. These 2" baffles sound GREAT, not too loud, but definitely loud enough. For me the 2" baffles works fine. I can still hear the radio @ 70 mph on the highway, and are plenty loud when you crack the throttle.
The 2 1/4" baffle RUSH mufflers might be a little louder that the stock 2 1/4" Rinehart baffle. The 2" RUSH is definitely quieter and deeper than the stock Rinehart baffle.

Following up on my earlier post....
I did, as mentioned in an earlier post in this thread, change the baffles out from the 2" to the new 1.5"--and couldn't wait to get them off! They were quieter than the stock pipes, and had almost completely lost the deep rumble the 2-inchers had. Figured I would try the 1.75" baffles, and they turned out to be perfect. The rumble is back, but the noise level is very reasonable (from a neighborhood standpoint).
By the way, it seems that Touring bike riders generally go for larger baffles than Softail riders, since the mufflers sit much further behind the rider, attenuating the noise level that reaches the rider's ears somewhat. So a 1.75" baffle might sound to a Softail rider like a 2" baffle sounds to a Touring bike rider.

Just kidding, of course. I kept the 2" baffles, and may yet go back to them. They really do have the all-around best sound.

Based on the feedback, I think that I will purchase the 2.25 Rush. I have heard the Rineharts and love them. But would not mind going one notch louder. Based on this thread, I believe the 2.25 will accomplish that?

RE: Rush slip ons, BAffle size?
How do the Rush slip-ons sound in person compared to the sound they have on their web site (http://www.epiflex.com/rush_touring.html)???? Similar or no??

I feel that most sound bites suck. If you use a good set of headphones on the RUSH site you can hear a difference. I can't tell anything through my speakers. I also think they sound better in person that on the web site.
