Default Different Slip-ons

I recently put the new screaming eagle slip-on's on my Nightster, and they sound decent, but are still pretty quiet.

I ran across thise on Ebay?

Anyone have slip-ons like these, and how do you like them?
Is this a good price?
They're much cheaper than my Screaming Eagles were, so if I buy these, hopefully I'll get a good price on the old slip-ons.

I don't have those, but I did put a pair of Rush slip-ons with a 2.25" baffle on. I think these are the best slip-ons out there. You can also change the sound level by simply swapping the baffles. I actually run 2" baffles now. They aren't that much more than the V&H.

I may have to hold off, looks like the Screaming Eagles are bring less than $50 on ebay and I paid $260 for the one's I currently have a couple of weeks ago.

I wish I could return them..

I really like the sound of my Cycle Shacks, they're pretty damn loud. I have the turnouts and have hit the front muffler on the ground a couple of times in the twisties because it sticks out a little bit, but I ride pretty hard so any normal person probably wouldnt have a problem

128auto has these pipes and I really like the sound of them. They also look good, you may mistake them for a complete exhaust. You can get them at Dennis Kirk for basically the same price so you can avoid American Classic Motors whose reputation is at best mixed.

You do know that you can make those SE's louder don't you?

I would keep them if I were you .... they are nice slip ons and you will take a beating selling them when all you have to do is make them louder.
Just giving you my .02

I'll research all the options you gave me and see whatI decide.
I wish I would have looked more before I bought the Screamin' Eagles.

Too bad I can't return them to the dearler (or, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't take them back since they've been installed.)
