I have the Cannons also. Like them a lot and definitely not quiet when you get on it and a nice purr at idle.

How would you compare your Grand Nationals to the MK 45's?

I recently purchased a 19 RG. The dealership had a options in regards to slip-ons, for me it came down to either the V&H or CFRs. I chose the CFRs and have not been disappointed. To me, they have a nice deep sound, are loud when I get on the throttle, but are not going to cause my neighbors to file complaints against me when I fire up the bike.

First off....Congrats on the new scoot
Im gonna add another vote for S&S MK45's. I put em on my new 19 road glide and they sound real good (at least for me). Just remember like someone already said.....if u get just slip ons, it will not sound like older model bikes.....far from it. You would have to do some upgrading to get the tone your possibly looking for.
As long as u know that when u purchase, u should be good!!!

Good luck
Jay

Default S&s mk45

S&S MK45 with DB reducers removed but will try the cut in half method.

Removing the DB reducers kills your bottom end. The bike will sound a little better, but not much. Im running mine with the left side DB reducer out. Not sure if it helps sound, but doesnt seem to hurt my torque either.

I went with the Neighbor Haters. 19 RGU. They have the idle sound I wanted. Closest sound to my 15 twin cam. They do drone a little on the highway but I’m hoping it will mellow out over time. Might not though since the cat is still there.

I have a buddy that just put Rineharts on a 10 RGS and they sounded really good as well.

I have always liked the Rush Big Louie's. Just something about them that is unique, throaty and makes people think you have a built motor...
