Default Tab Slip-on

Anyone running Tab Performance Slip-on exhaust on their Sport Glide other than the Zombie? Considering the 1.75" louvered over the 2.25" but not sure how much above stock they would be. Not looking to wake up the neighbors on my early morning rides just looking for a little more of the Harley growl when I twist the throttle.

I have the Tab slipon with the zombie baffle in it currently and will be changing to the 2.25" in hopes that it provides a bit more backpressure. If you want, I can upload a video of the sound sometime this week.

FuelMoto recommended the 1.75 baffle for the 2:2 versions. They are considerably louder then both stock and street cannons, but not “too loud” by any means. I REALLY like the sound. Nice decel sound as well. But again, I’m talking about the 2:2 versions. I can’t say how the single slip on the sport uses, sounds.

I’ve got the 2.25” on my ‘18 FLHCS
They are fairly loud when on and off the throttle, but quiet when cruising.

Thanks however; Tab has video's with the Zombie and the 2.25" just none with the 1.75",

Good luck with the 2.25"

I will be interested to know how you like the 1.75" baffles. I just got the zombies and they don't seem that loud starting or idling but when you get on it watch out. Even with these my 87 Evo is louder for sure.

Thanks! I'm sure its just the recording but the 1.75" seems louder than the 2.25" on the Street Bob.

Yeah, it’s really impossible to judge volume from YouTube videos. Most cameras/cell phone cameras automatically set recording levels. You can get an idea of how it sounds, just now how loud unfortunately...
