Slip-On Pipes???
I just picked up a stock 2005 FXSTDI. I am looking to get a set of slip-ons for it does anyone have any recommendations? Good places with fair prices? Thanks in advance Glen

Rush Slipons are hard to beat for the sound and the price. Good construction. I have a set on my Deluxe and my husband is expecting a set for his Road King from J&P Cycles any day. Lots of the vendors carry them, but they're so popular right now, don't be surprised that when you order a set they turn out to be on back order for a week or two. Just my .02.

RE: Slip-On Pipes???
Lots of people are partial to Rush. I've used Cysle Shacks for all my slip-ons. Admitedly, my CS slip-ons sounded awesome on my Sportsters but so-so on the Softail. However, I found them on Ebay for under $100 shipped new in the box so I didn't complain. They were an interim solution until I decided on a full exhaust anyway.
So I'll agree with the previous posters...Rush (or Cycle Shacks). Keep final cost under $225 if you can. Anything else you will either pay too much for or not get good quality out of. Slip-ons are slip-ons. For example, going with VH or Rinehart slip-ons aren't going to give you that much more performance versus Rush but will likely cost you a lot more. There is only so much you can do with add-on mufflers and the stock head pipes.
