[QUOTE=Thingfish;11514535]Trying to decide between slip-ons for my 2013 seventy-two. What are the sound/tone and performance differences between the Krome Werks 3 inch tapered muffler and 2.5 inch tapered muffler? Is the 3 inch deeper toned? Does it cost torque? This will just be a stage 1 bike.

Also interested in American Custom mufflers if anyone can compare with Khrome Werks. Which is deeper toned? Is one louder than the other?

Cycle shacks don't grab me, and I have tried to listen on YouTube, but videos are very inconsistent depending on camera quality and location.

Any info appreciated, thanks![/QUOTE

Well, yes, you read that right, 1400 miles on an '09! Bike came with a wind shield, and that had to go. Made the sound of the pipes sound odd? Took it off, completely woke up the bike. Been running V&H for years and simply didn't want to "go with the flow". Had a buddy ride my bike and absolutely convinced me that these pipes are amazing! Deep rumble that doesn't quite rattle the fillings out of your mouth, but the deep tone punches you in the chest. Like really punches you! Best kept secret imho. It's my bike and I'm going to make it unique. ]Not downing V&H. To each his/her own. I'm going to ride through a set of tires this year! Be safe out there.
