Default "Bargain Basement" RUSH not too shabby







I slapped on a set of 3 1/2" RUSH slip ons with the 2.25" baffle dimpled tips that you can rotate I like the "slash up" look but can easily be changed or removed with couple screws. Fit finish and chrome are 1st rate plus a 1 yr warranty on the chrome. Sounds nice and throaty no tinny sound...so far so good seems to respond just a bit better too. I've always liked the sound that RUSH puts out.

PLUS....these were marked way down RUSH had a special on this one...$190 a set delivered! Hell, who could pass that up?
I will give supplier if anyone's interested (IF they still have any left)

ALSO, most guys that tried the 2" baffle weren't that happy with them. Seems the 2.25" is the way to go at least with the RUSH anyway. Whaddya Think?

Default 610-754-8500

610-754-8500 American classic Motors...they were on ebay for 199 but I called them direct and got them to do the 190. Don't know if any are left but they have a set just like this no tips for 199 up there now. I THINK you can put tips on them as well. $449.00 retail cant lose at this price hell CHEENA pipes sell for more!

I have heard that the Rush slipons are pretty good...... Do you have a sound bite and what all do you have in your motor? cause it does make a difference in sound......

Still thinking about trying a set of the mufflers. How are they holding up? Any problems?

What specifically came with them? Did you need any additional parts other than the tips? Thanks, Ken
