Default Screamin Eagle VS Rush Mufflers

Was curious if anyone could tell me if there is much difference in the Harley Screamin Eagle Slip on mufflers VS the Rush Slip on's. I have a 2006 Softail Classic with the SE's on it now. Was thinking about putting some Rush mufflers on it.

If it's the old SE, (before 2007), I would say they sound similar, but the Rush have a deeper tone. After 2007 (Screamin Eagle) sound close to stock.

I have an 07 Softail Custom with Rush slip ons with 2.25 baffles. It sounds great and if too loud the baffles can be changed to 1.50, 1.75 or 2.00.

Yeah that. The newer screaming eagles are pretty bad.

I heard that Rush was the manufacturer of the older Screaming Eagle mufflers.

Don't think that's right.

First i've read about them making Harley pipes was in 05, First I seen any was in 07..

Actually the set I ordered from Rush was the first set of Rush mufflers that our dealer had seen and installed on any bike.

That made car and truck muffler before that, But I feel pretty safe in saying I am sure they didn't make the SE pipes pre 07, they just sound a little like them, but deeper..
