Default Exhaust preference question
I have a new 2014 street glide and I am going with the Fuel Moto 2-1-2 head pipe in the stainless ... Question is I have narrowed my muffler choice down to the Vance and Hines Hi output or the Fuel Moto 4.5 pro touring mufflers ..
Anyone have any experience with either muffler ?? Sound preference ?

Unless you have a big bore motor, you would be best to shy away from the Hi-Output mufflers from V&H. Everything that I've seen shows a loss of power from them in stock or stage 1 builds.

Super Trapp Kerkers or the V&H High Output series. Absolutely nothing wrong with the Fuel-moto setup either. It's your money.

FM has their E series? Maybe that is a possible option.

Youtube has some FM muffler videos to check out too.

Just curious why the Rinehart 4" slipons are not on your list. I have a 2011 limited with your same setup and am also trying to decide on an exhaust. I have had good feedback on the fuel Moto pipe and Vance and Hines Monster Ovals but it seems the Rineharts are very popular on the forum for our setups. Have you explored the Rineharts?

I switched to the Vance & Hines Monster Rounds and those by far were the best for touring. A great low bark at take off and nice mellow rumble when highway cruising w/o interfering with the radio.

I just placed my order for a 2015 FLTRXS. I opted to go with the FM 2-1-2 and the RCX 4" slip ons. I currently have RC Component True Duals and 3.5" slip ons and I love the sound, so I decided to stick with RC Components for slip ons.
