Talking Got my rush mufflers on!

Definitely a big fan. They are doing everything I wanted them to do. I decided to go with the 2in baffle and it is plenty loud. I have not done any other mods just yet. The back is running just the same without any "popping" or backfiring issues. Just as a bit of info, my fathers 2011 super glide custom is not having any issues either with 2in baffles and no other changes. I'll try and post up some pics later. I decided to go with the black finish mufflers behind the chrome heat shields. There was a fellow member here that had done the same and it looked great!!

Rush slip ons are all I will use, good performance, good fit and finish, no bluing on mine on several bikes. I run the 1.75" baffles and tip compatable with the angle cut billet tips that can be changed to several positions. I ride a Heritage. The mufflers will get louder over a couple 1000 miles. The 2" are good on perf. just a little too loud for a geezer like me.

+1 on the slip-ons. I had these on my Sportster. The looks and sound were great. I can not, however, recommend their full systems. I recently returned a 2:1 system that had swirl marks on the chrome and the headers had surface defects. Although I was able to return the system and get credit, the experience was not so pleasant. Perhaps a new thread would more appropriate regarding this situation.

I know this is an old thread but just in case you are still around I have a question. You say you had your Rush 2.0's for 5 years. Did you ever have to repack or replace the baffles? I've had the 2.0 slip-ons on my 2009 Street Glide for about 3 1/2 years and I notice they are quite a bit louder now. At this rate they may become too loud for my taste. If it's possible to repack or replace the baffles I may do that to prevent the expense of new exhaust. Thanks

You should be checking your baffle pack a couple times a year. Yes, the pack is replaceable.

I have the rush full longs on my 2012 Heritage no problems. Look and sound great. Had the slip-ons on my 2009 Ultra Classic, they sounded good. Had the slip-ons on my 2010 Heritage. They were too quiet for me. I have a set on my Screamin Eagle Springer and they are bad ***. Awesome sound, of course it's an entirely different engine.

Oct1949 is around, 28000+ posts and going strong. Yes baffle material deteorates and packs back to the rear of baffle. I think Rush has a repack kit with different layers of materials and detailed instruction sheet to install them the way they suggest and instructions on the proper way to remove stubborn baffles.
