RE: Exhaust for Softail Deluxe
I had the screaming eagle on my 07 heritage and took them off .My buddys 650 yamaha was louder than my harley and thought no way. I put on v&h true duals and love the sound now it comes from both sides and sounds great. I had true duals stage 1 and sert installed 3.5 hrs labor @$70 hour cost was 1279 and worth every penny. I just didnt like the se mufflers.

Roadhouse Exhaust part number?
[QUOTE=Luxe;2327602]If you want the performance improvement of a 2 into 1 and yet preserve the vintage retro look of the Deluxe you will have a hard time finding a better fit that the Roadhouse Pipe.
Does anyone know the Roadhouse Brand part number for this exhaust? I have been looking for one for years and think I may have found it.]

Rush or Khromewerks HP Plus slip ons for best performamce, looks, and sound. Both have stood the test of time.
Nice thing about the Rush is their 3 different sized baffles depending on your preference of loud and better low end torque vs top end.
Both have a top notch finish and deep rumble without being obnoxiously loud. Both are made in the good ole USA.
True duals tend to lose low end from lack of scavenging. These use the hidden crossover and are actually 212 systems that don't give up that scavenging.
True duals DO have the best sound.
Don't be fooled. Not all 2in1s are worth a crap. Just as many crappy 2in1s out there. Many suffer low end reversion and torque loss, are ugly as $h!+, and sound even worse. Some will say any 2in1 is better. They're full of $h!+.
Do your research and don't be swayed by the masses. Sound is subjective. Only you can say what sounds good. Listen to some here and you'll end up with a bike that sounds like your old lady's sewing machine on steroids.
Roadhouse went out of business 10 years ago and was used mainly on jap bikes from everything I see. November 18, 2010 to be exact.

I'm not about the long fishtails, but love the true dual look. Went with the Cobra "Bad Hombre's," love the look and the sound, not to loud with a nice throatiness. As far as performance there was an improvement over the pythons and much more appealing in my opinion.

Deluxe set up brings a lot to the table. What is it youre looking for at the end.
Vicia build to me is kick ****.
Pipes, 2 into 2 with a crossover, 2 into one, or tru duals. Where do you want to go.
