Default very exhausting issue

Picking up a '10 TG in a couple days.My dealer has been great but the stock exhaust with cat's and all concerns me.Would any of you suggest I should have slip ons added when new or keep the stock exhaust and just wait till a better all around system is available?

thanks in advance

I had the 4" SE mufflers installed and I am very satisfied with them. Quiet at cruising speeds but has nice bark when the throttle is twisted.

Thanks Oldm,
If I do anything I'll do the Se's as well as Carlo's idea about waiting for a solution to heat etc. down the road.Both good suggestions for sure.

I recently put these on my TG.

AWESOME sound out of these. Real deep bass tone, but not too loud. They are, surprisingly, 50 state legal with EPA stamps on them. They are made by Super-Trapp.

From the MOCO website,

Screamin' EagleŽ Nightstick 2-Into-1 Slip-On Muffler

Maximize the performance of your 2-into-1 exhaust-equipped 2010 Street GlideŽ or Road GlideŽ model. Designed for easy installation on the Original Equipment header pipe and muffler hanger, this long and lean muffler provides the right combination of air flow and back pressure to boost the performance and sound quality of your bike. EPA stamped, this muffler is 50-state street-legal on stock displacement engines.


The website does not mention they fit the TG, but the catalog that the dealers have do.

The SE 4" mufflers are also 50 state EPA compliant. I am not trying to sell them. I do know that they are quiet at cruising speeds as I am not into loud noise anymore. When my wife and I travel we may be on the freeway for 8 to 10 hours per day and noise is what I don't need.
