2012 fatboy pipes. Slip on vs set?
I decided that I want slash cut pipes. Is it possible to get slip ons near as loud as a complete set? Was quoted 1650 for a set and 375 for slip ons. Mainly want a loud awesome sound. Not worried about increasing performance. I want it to be loud as heck and have the slash cut side look.

Slipons have worked out fine for me and the wife for the last 4 years. The Rush 1.75s are plenty loud enough imo but you can swap out to larger baffles for more noise. And more attention from the neighbors and leos.

I'vd had Screaming Eagles on my Fat Boy since 2004. They sound great. The new Screaming Eagles......not so much.

Slip-ons work for more noise ect but a set just looks looks way better.
I still kick my self for not getting the set right off the bat.
Check Dennis Kirk out you can get a set of Vance & Hines for under $700
Better look better sound its a no brainer.

I have a 2012 Deluxe with V&H 3" slashcuts with V&H competition baffles, trust me they are loud. I think they sound great.

Jeezzzz - That 1650 must be at a dealer and installed by a slow mechanic. If you can turn a wrench, you can do way better than that (even at full retail) on all the complete systems for a Fatboy I ever looked at.
