I am in the market for some new pipes for my Deluxe. I've been told that I will likely also want to do a stage one upgrade. I agree that is probably the way to go. Anybody have any recommendations? I don't want obnoxiously loud, but definitely louder than the stock ones on the bike now. I don't like the looks of the fishtails.

 

I've got some Vance and Hines big shot staggered on mine, love the sound of them. They look good on just about anything IMO.

 

+1 on the Big Shots..... I just installed mine and they sound GREAT! I had some Python 3 slip-ons before that and they were way better than stock, but the Big Shots beat 'em by a mile as far as sound goes.

 

Ditto on the big shots!! Love the sound of mine, I had a friend of mine who thinks Harleys are obnoxious tell me my bike sounds good

oh yea do a full stage one air cleaner and tuner as well as exhaust it really woke mine up

 

My wife had the the V&H staggered duals (I guess they're short shots?) installed on her '08 Heritage and she loves them!

Personally, I like a little less noise and more of a deep, mellow rumble.

 

vance and hines would be the way to go

 

The Vance & Hines Big Shot Staggered are great. I don't think you would be disappointed with any of the V&H line.

 

I think anything you pick will be good. can't go wrong with vance and hines

 

V&h are great pipes but I'm going to recommend getting something other than them just because alot of harleys run them. I have freedom performance on mine Wg always having people asking what kind of pipes they are and no one has heard of them I like to be different. Really you cant go wrong with any pipe manufacturer. V&h, BUB, Bassani, Cobra, Samson all sound better than stock.

 

Rush slip on muffs will get you a big sound..have these, in black on my xbones.
