Let me know if anyone wants to buy my Screamin' Eagle Street Performance Slip-on's.
Only 2 weeks old and about 100 miles on them.
I'll sell them for $150 shipped.

Ditto to the Rush 2.25's. AWESOME on my 1200N. Had a few people say they like the sound better than the V&H - apparently the Rush have a "Deeper" "Rumble", from what I've been told.

modify the baffle they'll be plenty loud enough. Big City Thunder monster is the way to go

KSCruiser has that set-up, and they sound mighty fine...

You can get a deeper rumble from V&H by installing the quiet baffles, but I know your issue is the SE slip-on's, just making a point.

But Perch is pretty cute, so I won't argue with her!

I was following a dude on a Sportster last week with the V&H slip ons, and I wasn't impressed. They were loud, but very tinny sounding, if you can figure out what that means. I have the SE II slip ons, and I modifies the baffles. Sound's like the baffles were removed, just not as loud. Much deeper than the V&H. they pretty much sound like the BCT baffles.

I have a set of 2" Rush slip-ons. I think they sound killer. My local Harley shop was pushing them over the screamin eagles. They also said that Rush was going to be the" new screamin eagles" (yes I know they prob make moreselling the Rush) But no matter I love-em!!

I just drilled out the baffle plug on the stock mufflers. Sounds great at hardly any cost.

I have the V&H slip-ons and the Rush 2 1/4" slip-ons. I prefer the V&H. The Rush do have a deeper tone but are not as loud.
