Getting Old
Didn't have much to do today. Took my Rush mufflers off (they need to be repacked, getting louder than I like) and put the stock mufflers back on. Kind of liked what I heard. I might be the only one running stage one, PC-V, and stock mufflers. Took it for a short ride and it wasn't bad at all. We'll see in a few weeks how I can live with it.

When I worked at ***'s Harley in Rock Hill, we did a Stage I for a customer's FXDB. He'd requested a dyno run so we did two, a Stage I with the stock mufflers and the second with S/E mufflers installed.
Both HP numbers were the same ( about 68 hp, 96" motor,) but the torque was 4 ft/lbs higher with the stockers than with the S/E mufflers.
Your not alone. It's a good combination.

OK.. I've had my Rush since 07,, in fact I was the first one who had them installed at our dealership back in 07, I did the 2''er, (cause I knew I was doing cams later), They (my dealer) had never heard of them.
Fast forward to now 2013.
Now since then I've put another 40k miles on our 07 Heritage and I still have the RUSH muffs on.
I have repacked them Twice, but they still look like the day I had them installed and I love the Sound of them.
Thats why I haven't replace them Yet, and the cost $$$$ of replacing them is NOT an issue. The wife and I just LOVE the SOUND of them..
SO---
If U call them and talk to a Rep They should/Probably=== Send U New packing for Ur pipes, Free...
http://www.epiflex.com/ Their NO is at the bottom...
I love the service I've received from them, They are really hard to beat.
In fact the last time they sent me a lot of extra's in with the new Packing. But I will say I've been a "BIG" fan of their Products And I have said it MANY-MANY times in here....
They now have a new way to wrap the Baffles.. its a double wrap that should/will last alot longer than the way mine came with the single wrap.

Gastonia? I used to live in Gastonia!
When I worked at ***'s Harley in Rock Hill, we did a Stage I for a customer's FXDB. He'd requested a dyno run so we did two, a Stage I with the stock mufflers and the second with S/E mufflers installed.

I noticed that when I received my replacement matting. Hope it helps with the longevity. Replacing them isn't a big deal on my wife's Deluxe since both baffles can be pulled without removing the slipons. Not so with my Heritage.
