Exhaust options for 06 Deluxe
Looking to change out my stock pipes but not sure what I want. I do know I want pipes that will let me keep my passenger pegs and I do have the HD bags. Thinking just slip-ons since $$$ is an issue. Suggestions? Someone said Python P-3's, Rhineharts or Vance and Hines Big Shots. Post pictures if you've got them. Anyone tried a two into one exhaust and if so, how did it look on the Deluxe? Thanks.

hi there
I am a shop owner in North Texas(Denton)
thought I would drop in on you.
I don't know your situation but here in Texas we have a lot of mixed feelings on this topic.
My best advice is to find someone you trust that knows how to tune fuel injection and use what they are comfortable with. Get the hi flow and SERT first and pick out a pipe that looks and sounds good to you. A real tuner will work with what you have, not the other way around. Pipes change everything and a tune will be necessary for it to run optimally.

We are in the process of putting a set of Rush Slip On Baloney Cuts on my wife's Deluxe. I have the same pipes on my Standard. They have a nice throaty sound but not obnoxiously loud. Our HD dealership sells them. The routine they are suggesting is the slip ons, a big sucker breather and race tuner. Her bike is an O7, but shouldn't be much different than yours. The whole think is about $500.

RE: Exhaust options for 06 Deluxe
That's a tough question to answer, because everyone has their own opinion. But for what it's worth, here are a few thoughts:
I personally don't care for the slip-ons; they look like mufflers attached to the end of pipes (probably because they are)
. I prefer the look of contiguous pipes, front to back. IMHO.
With the bags, you may want something longer; I just think it would look better (my opinion again). Perhaps the True Duals, as someone suggested, or maybe the Big Shots Longs??? I would suggest going to biker events and look at what others have. You can then get an idea of what you like and don't like.
Our bikes are different styles, but you can look at my sig pic if you want to see the Big Shots Standards.
BTW, I looked at your gallery to get an idea of what your bike looked like. I didn't see any bikes...
