Question New Heritage muffler question

Have rode bikes for years, now riding my first Harley. Like the smooth ride as I am an older rider. After a couple thousand miles I think it has enough power but I would like a 2 into 1 muffler. Where can I find one that has the same characteristics as my factory mufflers so I don't have to deal with tuners, air cleaners, etc.

If your New Heritage is a 2011 you have lots of options. If it is a 2012 I believe you my have to way a few months for the third party manufacturers to catch up.

In either case you would have to deal with tuners if you just change the exhaust, but someday you will and it is not difficult.

A fellow co-worker put a Fat-Cat on his new one. He did no up-grades.
It has a nice mellow sound.
I think once you change the Air Fltr and increase the flow, you have to
do some kind of re-flash with the ECM.

All you more hi-tech guys correct me if I'm wrong.

When we bought the wife's 03, we put the (F-ing loud) V/H Straightshots and
a K&N A/F and a Screamin Eagle Race Tuner (waste of $ probl)
I think it's too lean, but I'm used to the antique.
The Harley dealer did that though, it was all part of the access package we did. It was 20 % off all parts & labor on any accesories installed before delivery.
