exhaust question for 2018 forty eight
Just got back from the dealer, they state they can install not only the screaming eagle exhausts but other's and still warranty the work. They had a huge catalog for me to flip through.
So, I was going to get the screaming eagle muffler but now since I have so much more choices, I don't know what to do. They have tons of Vance and Hines but I hear they are the loudest. I want something in the middle that is not going to make my head explode on a 2 hour ride. I'm definitely getting the screaming eagle intake and getting a tune, just stuck on the muffler part.
What exhaust is louder than a screaming eagle, but not as loud as Vance and Hines? What company(s) should I be looking for?
Thanks.

Do do not get the screaming eagle or the tune from the dealer youll just end up over paying and its all EPA regulatied crude. Your bike will not benefit from it only slightly or not at all. Check out the DK Custom site and get educated.

Thanks all. I did some research Im leaning toward a full exhaust either the cobra or v&h. I probably will have quite baffles installed as well.
I want a nice rumble and louder than stock.

My dealer said the same. Lies. An aftermarket exhaust voids your exhaust's warranty (obviously) and any part the exhaust may affect. Call Harley directly and ask them. Any future warranty issues you may have are approved/denied by Harley, not your dealer. If you speak with your dealer again, ask the service manager and not the sales people.

If you do go aftermarket, look for something with a crossover.
Without a crossover you are going to lose low-end torque.
PS - It has been my experience that dealers know less about the bikes than I do, and I barely know anything. Be careful!
