RE: Wanting quieter exhaust...advice please
ORIGINAL: nscrbug
Hi guys and gals -
I ride an 02 Heritage. Back when I purchased the bike new, one of the first things I did was change out the stock exhaust - had SE II mufflers put on before I even took delivery. Now...here it is 6 years later, and I cannot stand how loud these pipes are. Maybe I'm just gettin' to be an old lady (42), but I absolutely loathe the sound of my bike now. I'm seriously thinking about putting on something a lot quieter...however, I have the standard Stage II big bore kit w/SERT on my bike, and I don't want to lose any performance. I'm happy with the way the bike is running and I don't want that to change. I don't know **** about exhaust or performance mods (I'm a chick, so cut me some slack)...I just know that I want quieter pipes without sacrificing the way the bike is currently running. What should I be looking for in the way of exhaust? I've heard a lot about Rush (the exhaust, not the band..lol)...any comments or feedback on these? Would I need to have the bike dynoed and/or remapped if I changed out the exhaust? Thanks!

I put the SEII's on my 06 Low Rider, with the baffels in and they were way to loud. I couldn't hear myself think. They made a trip down to Kroger and back.I pulled them back off.
I installed the 80418-06 Slash Downs Slip-on. Perfect sound. Like the glass pack mufflers in the 60's.
The flow on these will probably let you get by without changes. Run a few hundred miles and check the plug coloring. That will tell you the story.
