Took my time throughout and spent just under 2 hours beginning to firing up. Wore nitrile gloves to keep mufflers clean during reassembly then wiped everything down with isopropyl alcohol and lint free cloth. Clamps need 15mm socket and 1/2” for rear hangers. Mufflers arrived very well padded and packaged. Magnaflow provides new clamps and rear bolts along with excellent instructions. Instructions even state the recommended torque.

 

is that with the stock headpipe or did you decat as well?

sounds pretty good.

 

Bike is totally stock other than the Slip-On mufflers. It seems not much louder than stock but the idle sounds deeper and there is than same deeper sound as I accelerate. I’ll be taking a couple hundred mile ride today so we’ll get a good idea of how she sounds. We’ll see if the mufflers were worth $460 bucks. I listen to the radio most of the time so I wasn’t looking for loud, just a good look and a nice deep tone with enough volume to sound like a big V-twin.

 

Sounds good. I have researched the Hitmans but I never found them for $460. That's a pretty good deal.

 

Here are the Hitmans on a decatted head pipe and CR-460 cam

 

I also have the Hitmans, installed on my 2017 RGS with Jackpot 2-1-2 headpipe and stage 2 torque cam, They are very deep and get compliments all the time and people asking me what they are.Only downfall is keeping the tips clean.I havent noticed any power loss on the low end.The cam and headpipe definitely made the mufflers louder so much so i have to turn up the volume on the radio at highway speeds

 

Well that was all I needed to hear, I want better sound but not at the expense of the radio going down the road, Thanks for the heads up.

 

I just finished a 285 mile ride with the newly installed Hitmans and had no trouble hearing my radio at all. I have the radio background sound sensor set to level one of I think three available. I left the radio sound level at the same settings with the Hitmans as it was with stock but at 70 mph I see the background sensor now regularly compensates at 3 bars instead of two. By comparison it would normally compensate at two and jump to 3 bars in 15+ mph winds. Either way I enjoy music best when I can hear a strong midrange guitar and voices. I had no trouble listening to the radio all day today in light winds at any speeds I ran up through 75 mph. I like the deep throaty sound of the exhaust in the background and if there was any change in torque then it may have increased a bit. But the throttle definitely seems a little smoother.

the price was on eBay from Powersportsuperstore and the price was only on one with the chrome tip. Shipping was free too.

 

As you can see there is more engine noise than exhaust sound at the riders position when idling. But when you hit the road it sounds pretty good from the riders seat. More sound clips

 

What is the radio background sound sensor?
