I had the SE street performance slip-ons with SE heavy breather on my 2011 FXDWG. Put V&H Big Shots on two weeks ago and couldn't be happier. It sounds like a Harley.

I like the Rush myself for slip-ons. I just removed mine to put on tru duals. My 2" Rush sounded pretty good. I believe the wrapping has gone by-by as they are pretty loud, but still look great! They look real good, pm me an offer and we can talk about a price. They came off an 09 fatboy, I don't think u said what urs is? You can still see them on the bike in my signature, have not updated photo yet.

What he said......
Slipons are an ok temp fix to make your bike sound better (except the SE)
Personally they drove me nuts because they look cheep.
For performance & a much much better look save for the full system.
Check the Dennis Kirks website they have best prices I found when I looked to replace my crappy looking slipons......

09 Night Train...This winter I installed V&H big shot staggered/quiet baffles & it has that deep classic growl.Also added Kuryakyn volacity stack air cleaner then took my ride to my inde. shop to install direct link tuner. Performance/power is awesome.

Full system vs slip ons is my opinion if budget allows and you want better sound. I went with Big Shots Staggered 2-2 crossover pipe.

Vance & Hines StraightShots HS #16833
Vance & Hines Quiet Baffles #21869
Vance & Hines LCD FuelPak #61017
SE 1584 ST 1 EFI Kit #29773-02C



Good Harley sound without breaking the bank, quiet baffles make cruising comfortable, plenty of sound when you roll on the throttle. FuelPak and high-flow air-filter finish out Stage 1.

If you're looking for sound keep in mind, Harley has to be decibel conscious. Personally, and it's only an opinion, I'd go with any reputable brand before the screamin eagles.
