Default Fatboy with Rush 2 inch baffles

Anybody have a 2007 or newer fatboy with Rush twin slash 2 inch baffle mufflers?
If so did you notice any reduction of low end torque?

Did you notice any difference in performance from stock?
Did you do any kind of tuning after installing the rush mufflers?

General consensus indicates you can change your slipon mufflers without having to change the tuning of your bike. Changing both AC and muffler requires at least a dealer download or other tuner.

I put V&H slip ons with the standard baffle on my ride without perceivable difference in performance. The 2in rush will be about the same.

You should see a performance gain for HP and TQ. We always recommend tuning but with the 1.75" and 2.00" it's not always required. Most people can install those sizes with no issues but tuning will bring out the performance from the upgrades. The 1.75" will have a greater chance of not requiring tuning. The 2.00" is the most popular.
