Default V and H slip-ons funny sound

Put V & H slipons on my 08 Crossbones and hear a funny chirping noise at certain RPM's and under certain load conditions. Very annoying! Stock engine, stage one intake, fuelpac. I had V & H big radius on before, no chirping but too loud. Double checked for exhaust leaks and none. Anyone experience this with these or other mufflers? Any ideas for a fix?

Actually there have been reports in here that with some pipes that U can hear a Chirp while riding,, seems to more that say that while putting along at steady speed.

I can hear it if I listen for it with my Rush's SO's.. secret cure for it is don't listen for it.


Also my Sons NT also had the belt chirping.. The wrench at the dealer gave him a little tub of something, like Vaseline, told him to apply it ONLY on the EDGE, not the whole belt. its caused by the belt rubbing the pulley side.. I know it don't seem right, but it fixed it.

I've been plagued by some minor chirping during sex, so I'll try that.
