Check out American Custom Exhaust (forum supporter here) and their websire. They have a great and inexpensive proces that greatly improves the sound and performance of your stock mufflers and you can put in the baffle you want to get the sound you want. Costs about $170.00. My brother and I put them on his Heritage and my Rocker and they work great. Ride safe!

U'll be fine with just the muffs..

Be aware that if U want more noise that the SE muffs are only a coulple DB's louder than stockers Which Is not very much, so U may want to look at other pipes.

I used to have Rush slip ons. They sounded great. Nice and deep but not too loud.

Harley has come a long way with their header pipes in recent years. They are balanced nicely and look good too. Dealers tell me that more and more folks are running slip-ons now. I have been running Rush slip-ons for a couple of years now with stage one A/C and am totally satisfied. Thinking of sending my stock mufflers out to American Customs for my next change in the future. Like the stock look.
