Exterminator, for me the sound was the most important factor to change so I just recently added the Rush 2" slip-ons (no tune necessary). I couldn't be happier; they look great and sound great. My next performance upgrade will be a heavy breather and hopefully the Power Vision tuner when they have one ready for the 2012 softails. Good Luck.

Money is always a issue these days and I can only get two items at once.I would like to be riding while building up the slush funds for the last piece.Thanks in advance Gary
Mfflers first, then when Stage 1 AF is installed, most would say controller then/ Ck out www.FuelMoto.com Jamie there has been involved wit Harleys a long time and they are a Forum sponsor.

Generally, the FLH models the cat is in the headpipe or collecter. on the softails the cat is in the front(part) 0f each muffler. There may be a couple of exceptions to this

Back in 07 our dealer had never installed a set of Rush pipes. My bike was his 1st set they put on and dynoed..

Do I like them,, Well I'll just say they are still on my bike and still look like new after 36k on them.

I have had to re-wrapped the baffles twice, but the last time this summer with the new double wrap way they are doing now I believe the wrapping will last a lot longer. It also give even a deeper sound over the old way.

Still love them.
