Default need advice!!

Hey folks whats up? Bought a real nice clean 2000 Heritage off a little old lady in Chicago Monday the 12th. It still has the original MOCO pipes and mufflers (really quiet) looking for a better sound. I also own a 2006 vrodgot real loud pipes on it it's mine. I bought the Heritage because (1) I always wanted one (2) the wife said I could LOL # It's a lot better bike to ride 2 up on I'm not looking for ear jarring loud like my vrod but I do want to be heard and sound good need some advice from slip on mufflers to complete new systems what do you guys that ride alot of 2 up with the old lady recomend. Thanks in advance

Rush slip ons are nice and have a deep throaty sound but not ear piercing. And if that's all you change, you probably won't need to mess with the carb.

Yeah i agree just do slip ons so you don't need to change more stuff on the bike (but come on you will change more stuff on it we all do after a few rides)

Rush for the slipons & Rinehart for a full system, both have a nice sound with several options to choose. Good luck with the Heritage, sounds like the VRod will get alot of idle time?
