Default rush mufflers?

The local HD dealer reommends Rush slipons as an economical way to get good sound out of my 08 Heritage Classic. With a little luck might not need any air/fuel adjustment. But I want to know from you Rush slip on owners out there. Do you like the way they sound?

Had them on my limited for a bit and they were good, I went with v&h later and a friend got the rush. He loves them. Very good product and finish for the $$.

I had the Rush slip ons on my SB when it was stock and they sounded great. After the motor work I went with BCT Baffles, removed the Rush baffles and the SB sounds awesome...maybe a little loud.

I have them in my garage in a box from my fatboy. Sounded good. Just keep an eye out for quality control. Bought Rush's full system a few months ago and went to put them on only to find the headers are too narrow, was told that they should still fit regardless - yeah sure.

They sound good but they are just a little too quiet for me. I have them on my springer and my heritage.

Had Rush on my 07 Night Train with stock intake and no problems. Then bought Rush for my 09 Street Glide and ran for 2 years with stock intake. Added a Ness Big Sucker last fall and still no problems. Just did my Brother In Laws Tri-Glide with Rush and Big Sucker and no problems there either.

Love mine. 1.75" baffles. They were louder than I expected too.

Never had or tried slip-on's until I got my Deluxe. I started with the 1.75" and just recently switched to the 2". I have to say, so far they seem to work and sound pretty good. I do prefer the 2". I might go with some full pipes eventually for this bike, but for now im pretty satisfied with the sound and quality of these slip-on's.
