I bought the bike used with the pipes on it but man they are too quiet. Winter project for sure is to replace the exhaust. Anyone else think they are to quiet and changed them just for this reason?

 

yep! also changed the "shot-gun" type exhaust - that was the only thing about Fat Boys I didn't like. reminded me of the Honda 350s from the mid 60's.

 

i went with rush slip ons and used the harley heat shields untill hooker had the entire pipes for $200

 

Yep after 2 weeks with the SE slip ons, i replaced with rush as well. HUGE difference. I took off the SE's and there still in my garage.

 

1st time I heard the new SE pipes I though they sucked..
why I have the Rush 2'', even louder than the older SE's and sound better to me..

 

I have the same issue with mine ('02 SEII slip-ons, before the HD & EPA decided to screw us). I posted the same thing about a month ago & the popular answer was Rush. Recent posts have mentioned VH & Sampson BGs or Streetsweepers. I ran straight drag pipes in my old Sporty and had no problem hearing them, but 'll damned if I can't hear my Fattie above 45mph. Let me know what you decide since I'm in the same boat.

 

I have been looking at the V&H Longshots. Fair price, good sound and not so loud as too bother my neighbors when I leave at 7:00am
