Default Vibration with Rush pipes

Ok this might be a stupid question but did everyone get more vibration in their bike at speeds above 70 when they went to Rush pipes? I am assuming it has to do with the deeper sound they produce, this worries a little as I now have the 1.75 and just ordered the 2.00.

I installed them on my 05 Heritage and there is no increased vibration with mine. I'm running the 1.75 baffles, screaming Eagle air kit and a Techlusion fuel processor.

I ordered the 1.5 baffles hoping to turn down the volume a bit.

Well then is there normally some vibration with the Heritage at these speeds. Again I'm new to HD and have never ridden another Harley, I don't seem to remember any with the stock exhaust.

No vibration on mine,check and see if your wheel weights are still there,mine came off and caused a little vibration.

Check the flange nuts for tightness as it is common for them to come loose. Also check your heatshields and mounting bracket. A loose screw or nut can cause vibration.
