Define "amazing." A lot of people on here think "amazing" means loud. I think "amazing" means the Screamin' Eagle Street Performance mufflers, which are some of the quieter ones you can get.

I just installed Vance & Hines straightshots slip-ons yesterday. Got 'em on eBay for $209 and free shipping. Took 1.5 hours to install (won't take that long...I read everything 3x cause I'm kinda like that!). I was a little startled when I cranked it up- it was a little louder than I had expected. If interested, let me know and I'll email the before and after sound...though little videos don't quite do it justice.

When I first got my V&H slip-ons, I thought they were loud, and then in about a week I got used to the sound and I think they just sound great.

The Rineharts are the best sounding slip-ons I have heard.... Someone had a video on here a while back.... Not sure if it is still around though. Something to consider.... You are really only saving a few hundred dollars by going with slip-ons, as opposed to a full exhaust system. If all you are looking for is sound, then this is okay. If you want horsepower/torque increases, consider going with a full system.

Yeah, I mean a few hundred dollars, that's basically nothing..... [8D]
