Default RC Component 4" slip on's

I know sound is subjective, but any but have them and like them or not? Anyone with input before I pull the "Trigger"!!!

I got the V&H Monter ovals and looking to get some louder slip on's.

Default I have them

I have them. Nice sound and volume. My issue is that I have ALOT of decel popping that I have so far been unable to get rid of. Working with Fuel Moto to fix but its frustrating...

I have them on my '15 Limited, with V&H Power Duals.

I had V&H Power Duals with 4" Rineharts on my '11 Street Glide, and these new ones are louder than I had on the old bike.

I also have them and really like their sound. I also get some deceleration popping, but I'm thinking about adding an FP3 in the near future which should help with that.

So is sound the only reason you are thinking of switching? I am looking around for slipons for my 15 roadking, and I'm gathering all the info now. I'm also looking for used ones, I figure that will lessen the sting if I am not satisfied with my choice. For me I am looking for the opposite of you, I want a milder sound for this bike.

If you looking for mild sound I would probably say the V&H monsters either in round or in ovals, but they wake up a bit when you twist the throttle

I have a 14 Road King and researched all the slip on's. If you are planning on adding speakers ( I have Cycle Sounds Premimum 3) I would suggest the V& H 4" Rounds. Great sound but not overwhelming and you can hear the music without a problem.
