Something to consider. . . I had a pair of Rineharts on my 2017 SGS. Back in January with 2100 miles on the bike I had the dealer install a stage II with a 447 cam. I used a SE Pro Street tuner, and SE Ventilator a/c. The dealer dynoed the bike after the install and when I saw the results I wasnt exactly thrilled. The tech told me the rineharts were "leaving a lot on the table" I honestly was skeptical. I alway thought slip ons were for looks and sound. Nothing really to gain in performance. He had a pair of SE street cannons in the shop and told me I would get better results. I told him to show me. See the attached dyno sheet. Never would have thought the results would be that dramatic. Those were my results. Every bike is different. The only difference between the two dyno runs were SE street cannons vs Rinehart 4" slip ons. I think the Rineharts do sound just a little better but the Street Cannons arent bad either. I left the Street Cannons on and sold the Rineharts. I now have 3500 miles on the bike and I'm happy.

I went for the Cannons on my '17 King after listening to the Rineharts on another one. Both bikes retained the cats, and although (to me) the Rineharts had slightly better bass, I didn't care for the volume.

Very pleased with the SE's, and 3600 mi. later I'm happy with my choice. Seems I've also read the SE's outperform others...can't verify of course.
