Got the Blk with tracer tips, wanted the slash cut like you have but was on back order. No inserts yet what ever come with the cans now. Which ones would you recommend and I know you posted on your review

First of all, I will say they sound outstanding without any inserts but you do give up a good bit on bottom so maybe try it both ways and she what works best for you. I would much rather run mine without inserts but FM tuned my 128 with the louvered inserts and it really makes a huge difference with them in vs out. I personally like the louvered insert the best because it’s louder than the adjustable tongue insert, both perform identical though. I will get you a sound clip in a few if you would like?

I really miss the sound of my Rineharts without the FM baffles, but I am slowly getting used to it

Yes sir, I agree, I’ve gotten used to the inserts and I’m good with them now.

Not looking to hijack but am in the same boat as the OP. I am a 2 into 1 guy but am looking really hard at the KW full system 2/2 full system. I think that will have the very low rumble, deep throat sound I am looking for for my new 2021 RGS. Question, is the stepped 2/2 full system ok for what will be a stage 2, 114"? I don't want to over pipe it for just a stage 2. Reason to go this route vs the the 1 3/4" is I may go 128 down the road someday.
