Default Jackpot vs MGS slip-ons

Looking to swap out my V&H Classic slip-ons for a set of slash up design mufflers. Running a V&H power dual head pipe. Looking for something that has touring manners and will quiet down on the highway. MGS is running a special on the blems that is pretty appealing. Thoughts?

I have MGS and like them very much, always lots of good posts about Fuel Moto as well. Both good choices from reviews. Good luck.

Thanks for the link I've watched that a couple times. Wont they sound different attached to the 2-1-2 power dual head pipe? And are the MGS mufflers 1.75 inlet?

I did the same thing.Switched from v & h classics to jackpots 3.5 with the quiet baffle. I couldn't be happier with the change.Fit and finish is excellent on the jackpots

They will be a little quieter. That's why we would recommend the loud performance baffle if you wanted a little louder. Yes they are 1 3/4"

For what it is worth I have the full MGS system and love them. Granted not slip on, but IMO, hands down the best sounding exhaust on the market. Just my opinion, but I listened to a lot of systems before changing and nothing sounded like my MGS.

Good luck!

Default Jackpots!

Absolute fan of my 4" fuelmoto jackpots! Nice mellow pipe - that is till you hang on that throttle! Top notch quality from an outstanding company!
