Default Rcx

I have them on my 17 Road Glide Special...Love the way they sound and not missing any low end torque.

I had them on my 2017 CVO street glide. I think they are good quality and sounded a lot better than stock. I just switched them out for a Fullsac system. Cant wait for some decent weather to try it out.

Yeah...my days of high/low shotguns open pipes is over too. Overall I like the sound of the RCX’s..they’ll do just what your asking for in regards to the sound. I’m not sure why mine were flat on torque...I did have Stage 1 and a dyno tune done with the Street Cannons before trying the Khrome Werks and the RCX’s.

Have you looked into the S&S mk45? To me they sounded much better than the rcx and have that good rumble when you get on the throttle. I have the black finished, but quality is excellent.

I'm running RC Slip Ons on my 2017 Road Glide Special, Stage One with decatted stock headers. In my opinion they provide a perfect combination of sound when I hammer the throttle and are quiet at cruise.

I have had a set on my RGU for quite some time. Way Way WAY better sound!!!!! When you start the bike up, it sounds like a Harley should sound! Finally!!!! They can be pretty mellow riding around, but when you want to crack it, they bark!! That is what I was looking for.

Recently went 2:1 so will likely be throwing my RCX up for sale. I really liked the RCX sound. From the time you pushed the button till you rolled it back in the garage, maybe better sound than my 2:1. The 2:1 is a big investment so I have to stick with it for a bit.

Pitting and pealing in less than a year. Killed low end torque until tuner was installed. Low end still not good!

Not to hijack, but look at the S&S MK45 slip-ons. Have 6k miles on mine and they sound better the more miles they got on them. You won't be disappointed.

I know this post is a few months old, but I’m looking at either the RCX, Vance & Hines, and S&S MK45 slip ons. Sound is important, but not as important as keeping the warranty (so no head pipe until the warranty is up), as well as not losing any low/mid range torque. Anyone have real world experience with these? I currently have a 2018 Street Glide Special with stock pipes, Heavy Breather, and Pro Street Tuner.
