I got cycle shack on my 883 sportster. They are loud. Got screaming eagle II on softail. Not as loud as cycle shack. I like the cycle shack, tho....Had Samson big guns on the sportster and had to take 'em off.....way too loud !!!!!!!!!!! Had to wear earplug on right side...ha ha ha.

Someone told me once (so it was most likely BS) that Cycle Shack produced the SE slip ons for H-D?

Harley sold Cycle Shack slip-ons as Screamin’ Eagle II items for many years (at least the "For Off Road Use Only" version).

Not sure if that is still true with the newer 'Street Legal' Screamin' Eagle mufflers.

But anyway, I'm running some of the original Screamin' Eagle II mufflers on my FatBoy, and the Rush mufflers with 2.0" baffles on my Wide Glide.

From what I can tell (and from what others have told me) the tone is almost identical.

Had them on my xl1200s before I sold it....Didn't sound bad and the performance was about average.

Vid sucks but you get the idea. Not overly muffled (with baffle in) and not "snappy" sounding).

I have to agree with Archer1968
2" on my Fatboy and they sound great.

Cycle shacks are the best bang for your buck. Winter time...harley usually has free installation deals. Sound awesome on my Nightster

I have a set of slightly used Rush slip-ons that I briefly had on my Deluxe for sale if you are interested - they have a nice sound and a piece of cake to install.
