I've got the 2" on my 12 Heritage. Yes there's popping (dealer installed with Stage 1) but it doesn't bother me. I have not noticed any scratching on the chrome and I keep my bikes polished and clean.

Got'em, really like 'em. Great sound, but not too loud. Did have lots of decel popping, but after lots of research on this site, installed the PC5, which eliminated 95%. Finally broke down and had the stage 1 performed, and bike runs great. Highly recommend Rush and PC5. Got the PC5 from Fuel Moto. Those guys rock!

At one time I was big on the Rush but not any more. After playing with a few sets of Cycle Shacks I won't buy another set of Rush. 2" Rush sound good but you'll lose some down low. The CS sound just as good, if not better, and no loss down low. The CS's have a stainless barrier against the wall of the muffler body. Helps with heat and bluing. Rush has nothing. CS's have a baffle inside that can be tweaked. Rush is just straight thru. Personally, I don't think anyone can beat the CS's for the money.

Were your cat's in the mufflers from the factory? Did they modify your mufflers? Did they remove the cat's?

I have these on my '08 fatboy. They sound very good. Then I had Andrews 37 cams put in and they sounded even better. But "sounds good" is very subjective.

They do scratch easily. Probably the only negative.

I ordered the pre-made mufflers as I am keeping my stock ones. I am not sure where the cats are located on the bike.
