I prefer Rush over CS also. I had CS on my previous bike and long rides got too noisy for me. The Rush pipes are a mellower tone over the CS.

I had Vance and Hines slip ons on my 07 street bob and loved the sound. Changed to rush 2:1 full system. Like it more than v&h. I am going to go with rush for the 08 heritage I just got.

No experience with CS slip ons but the 3" Rush with 1 1/2" baffle on the wife's Sportster are the deepest,throatiest sounding pipes I've heard without being overly loud.
Everyone compliments the sound and the look great.

I had the Cycle Shack turn outs on an 05 1200C and they sounded great and held up beautifully right up until I let it go eight months ago.

I'm partial to the Rush brand myself. Had them on my Rocker and now the Blackline. Both times I went with a high flow AC, 1.75in baffles, and XIED'S. both bikes ran great, no coughs, sputters, dead spots, etc..

For the price I like Cycle Shacks better. Sound wise they seem very similar, especially with the newer bikes that have a cat in the head pipe.

I have both. On the Sporty EVO I prefer the CS, on the Twin Cams the Rush.

Cycle shack's for me

I went from straight drag pipes to CS slip-ons on my Wide Glide & my gas mileage jumped from 43-44 mpg to 50-51 mpg with no other changes , plus it actually sounds better than my straight through drags except they don't rack back & I miss that ! Don't know why they don't sound as good on them geezer-glides though .

Lots of happy Rush pipe owners in here. Had mine 6 yr and they are still like new and still sound great..

If U putting them on an 883 and she's stock,, I'd recommend going with 1 3/4''ers instead of the 2 1/4''er.

U wont loose hardly any TQ with the smaller baffles like U will with the bigger ones and believe us,, they'll still be plenty loud...
