Default Worth it?
A guy on craigslist has SE slip on for sale for $35, I have Rush slip ons. Should I buy these just cus they are a good deal? Will they sound different, better or worse?

From what I've heard of the Rush slip ons. The SE's are going to sound terrible in comparison. But hey, 35 bucks is a good deal. You never know, one of your "bros" might need them some day.

Yeah you definately wouldn't want to replace your Rush slip ons with those SE's. $35 is a good deal though. If you are giving away money, though, you should throw some this way while you are at it!

It's a good price for the SE's, but I would not put them in place of your Rush mufflers. I have SE's and don't like them at all (they were on the bike when I go it) I have even drilled out the baffles and I still don't like them. I think over the winter I'm going to save up and get a set of V&H Short Shots. The SE's have a tinny sounds to them and that loud , but they do sound good at idle for some reason.

The enterprising side of me would buy them, then turn right around and sell them for a profit.
