Default Exhaust

I have a 2003 Heritage Softail Classic, it still has stock exhaust.
Suggestions on some slip on Mufflers that will fit existing exhaust that have that "Glasspack Sound"?? ( But not TOO Loud)
Thoughts? Of course cost is a concern also,
Thanks for your help!!

A second vote for S&S slip-ons here. D&D's would be a bit louder...

Try Paughco. Good quality & they actually muffle with a nice sound.

I've had my Rush for 8yrs and I still love them and they still look new even after 51K miles...

I went with the 2'' baffles,, but I knew I was adding cams..

The baffles are wrapped in matting material for that DEEP and Mellow sound.. for a Stock engine they now Recommend going with 1 3/4'' for a little more back pressure and a Hair less sound.

Great product and they have great customer service to help you before and after you buy them


they even have sound bites you can hear,, just click below..

Check our sponsor here, American Custom Exhaust. Exchange your mufflers for a stock replacement set of Bullits with the 2 interchangeable baffles. One is moderate and the other is quiet. They will look stock, have a quality, durable muffler and a choice of sound for less then an aftermarket set.

What Checkers said. I went with their mid baffles on my 2K Heritage and I love em. Also they have "blemish" pipes. I took a chance on em to save some cash and I couldn't find ANY scratches or defects! Good customer service to boot.
