Had them for 3yrs and have written many, many post on how good they sound.

Thought about changing when I did the cams last yr,, but after hearing the one's I thought about buying, I keep the Rush 2"...

IMO they just don't come any better, even if they leave a couple lbs for tq and Hp on the table compared to a 2-1 system. I chose to take the sound over the loss...

Sorry for the delay in my response.

I bought them from Eastern Performance Cycles on Ebay. I payed $279, and they shipped on time.

I got the chrome, slash down.

Worried about the "struggle" of getting the stock ones off.

I havent heard the 2" in person. I can say that the 1.75" are much louder than i had thought they would be.

It was tough getting the stock mufflers off. Maybe some on here have a few tips to make it easier. I used WD-40, a rubber mallet, and a neighbor. :-)

I had FXDBI with 2" Rush slip-ons but I thought that they were too loud so I changed baffles to 1,5". The noise was much more smoother to my ear when riding... I also tried V&H Shortshot slipons with quiet baffles but I must say that Rush sounded much better. I propably will get Rush slip-ons with 1,5" baffles to my Rocker also.

Also do not over tighten slip-ons when you change them. Be careful that if the whole exhaust moves when you yank slip-ons off. That may cause that you have to change the gasgets between pipe and cylinder...

I just put 2.00" Rush on my 2010 Rocker C. Have not heard the 1.75's but I think mine sound perfect. I wont be changing them anytime soon.

Default 1.75"

I'm running 1/75s. Piece of cake to install. Been running them for about 5,000 miles and they are doing fine. No tuning. Gas milage is mid 40s local and near 50 on a trip. Haven't looked at any plugs yet. Might do that next. Will probably call fuel moto in the future for intake and PC.
