Baffle Size??
I'm gonna be putting some Rush slip-on's on my 09 Street Glide and I have a question. The dealer I bought the bike from said that the slip-on's are available with different size baffles and that the bigger the baffle the louder the pipe. I talked with another dealer here yesterday and he told me the exact opposite, the smaller the baffle the louder the pipe. Which is it?
And just to double check, if I only add the slip-on's and nothing else there is no remapping or anything else involved right? I just want the bike to have a little more rumble than it has now with the stock pipes.
Thanks for the help....

The bigger the louder. I have 1.75s on my bike which was the largest they said I could go w/o remapping. Don't know what your "ears" are like but they are plenty loud.
I've heard 1.50s have a tinny sound to them so I don't know if the sound character gets better as you go up the scale or not. Whatever the case, if you decide you want a different sound, the baffles on the Rushs' are interchangeable so you can switch them out to a bigger or smaller size with the turn of a screw.
The Rush's run around $250 so if you can get a deal like Plopper I grab it. Maybe he'll tell you where he got his package deal.
If you want some sound advice give Jamie a call at Fuelmoto. They sell a package deal like that with special modified Rush slipons. That's my plan in the summer.
Or if you're looking for a quick fix just get the slipons now and try them out. See if you like the sound level.
Then when you're ready give Jamie a call and he'll hook you up with the full stage 1. You can even keep the same Rush pipes, he'll just give you new baffles.

I have two inch baffles in my Rush slipons. Kinda loud but like I keep saying not enough bark. Didn't need any sort of re-map.

I have the 1.75" baffles on my 06 EGC with the full sac true dual conversion. Runs good and sounds great...
