Default Exhaust

Hey I’m looking for a new exhaust system or slip on for my 2018 softail sport glide. I’m trying to find something that is deeper and louder. Any suggestions on what brand I should look into?

Or the 2018+ Softail section.

Go out to a Bike Night somewhere near your location and sit around, have a cold one, and listen, then talk to some folks about what they're running.

Good advice. Saturday morning at my local dealer, to meet some friends, a guy walks up and asks me about my exhaust. Said he was on the fence and was leaning towards a D&D pipe but wanted to hear what it sounded like.first.

I was more than happy to let him have a listen. He liked what he heard.

I've had a few exhaust systems, here's my list of faves:

- (winner) Two Brothers Gen II Megaphone 2-1 for 2017 Dyna FXDLS (they make for your bike, just checked)(went right on, great sound and performance, best mid and high range)
- Rush HO full and Big Louie mufflers for 2016 Touring (went right on, nice ceramic coated, deep rumble, best heat management)
- V&H Competition 2-1 2017 for Dyna (tie for 3rd)(hard to fit, beast of exhaust, hot as hell, no heat shields, best low end, great sound, looks best on FXDLS)
- Rinehart 2-1 for 2015 Dyna (tie for 3rd)(had to cut a bit of bracket to get good fit)(good all around exhaust, good looking chrome)

Maybe a bad comparison because I have an 06 dyna but the Vance and Hines big shots seem to have a low rumble. Not the loudest with baffles, but sound good to me without being obnoxious
