Default Rush 3" mufflers on Sportster Seventy-Two

Over the weekend, I threw on some Rush 3" bologna cut slip-on mufflers with the 1.75" baffles. I found them on ebay for a good deal so I jumped on the opportunity. Install time was about 30 minutes and I was able to re-use the x-over tube gaskets. While it is a six bolt ordeal, it does take some coercing to get the stock mufflers off. A non-marring hammer, a beer and some patience got the job done though. Here's a quick video I took with my phone. Sound quality kind of sucks, so sorry about that.

Thanks man! I was always told that tuning would be highly recommended when running a baffle bigger than 1.75" and I didn't really want to get into that territory. Either way, I'm happy with what I have even if it isn't super loud.

The video really doesn't do them justice. I need to take another vid in a more open space so there's not a ton of sound bouncing around killing the microphone.
