muffler suggestions...
I have an '09 Nightster and really like the look of the stock pipes...I'm just not crazy for the sound...or lack of it.
Can anyone suggest a muffler set up that will give me better sound and performance?
Or am I better off looking at a new pipe set up?

I had vance and Hines slipons the bike sounded good and ran good. I have since installed Bassani Fire Sweep exhaust and all I can say is...HOLY **** !!! A full exhaust allows the sporty to run amazing. It also sounds soo much better. It now runs like a raped ape. I vote for full exhaust and Bassani as the brand.

Thanks for the video Aaron. Your bike sounds great!
JP Cycles has a huge selection and the guys from Pipe Dreamz
were extremely helpful.
Can anyone vouch for RUSH or PYTHON slip-ons?

i had sreamin eagle , rush , vanes and hines short shots and now straight shots , im going back to rush , rush was the only exhaust i felt any difference ..plus you can play with the baffle size...
Obviously my opinion is biased 
With our sporty slip-on I would recommend our 2.00" baffle . That will provide the best overall power gain (when properly tuned) and in my opinion has the best sound.

I have the Screamin' Eagle 2-1, I believe they're the II's. I was wondering if I could pull the muffler and replace it with something a little more open...some kinda drag muffler, bologna cut or something. Anyone ever used the front portion and swapped out the muffler? Worst case, I'ma end up swapping out to some high radius slash cuts for a much noiser ride 
But the 2-1 SE's do a great job enhancing the power!

I have the Rush 2" baffles. The sound is excellent, and there's a ton more power than stock. The dyno sheets don't tell the whole story, either. The throttle is more responsive, and it no longer matters what gear you are in (yes, that is hyperbole, but there is more power from about 200 rpm over idle on up to the rev limiter).

I had a set of Rush slipons. They were great, mine were 2" baffles like the rush rep mentioned. Amazing sound. However, it's not that they werent good, it's just that nothing can compare to a full aftermarket exhaust.
