Default Quiet Fishtail System
Hey all,

Im keeping my eyes open for a stock Heritage Springer system for my Heritage Softail...
I like the look of the Dual Fishtail type systems - but I want it nearly as quiet as stock...

Anyone know of a dual system (other than the Stock Heritage Springer Exhaust) that is as quiet as stock and mounts onto a 2006 Heritage?

I did and there is an amazing amount of product in it...

, I was hoping however to get some feedback from someone running a "quiet" fishtail Dual system....

Cheers!

You will be very hard pressed to find anything close to the stock quietness. I have been looking for years and everyone claims how loud they are. I have V&H "Quiet Series" pipes and after 6 months they sounded just like straight pipes.

I've heard that SuperTrapp makes a fish tail exhaust for baggers that's pretty quiet. I don't know if they make anything for softails, though.

You might want to check out roadhouse exhaust. I don't know anything about them but I think they are supposed to be soft, or at least you can put a quiet baffle in them.

Anyone Have any experience with the supertrapp silent series pipes? It's not a dual fishtails system but it looks interesting.

Also, what about Aftermarket baffles? Anyone happy with the results In terms of performance and sound?

The supertrapps are tunable, both sound and performance.

They make a nice 2 into one Internal Disc Series with a fishtail end cap.
