Default Rinehart Exhaust

I purchased the full Rinehart Slimline duals exhaust for my 14 SGS. I currently have this kit installed on my bike and I have over 1,500 miles on it. The initial sounds sounded great but as time goes on, it sounds like I have a bubble maker or Jetson's car exhaust on my bike. It is driving me bonkers. Does anyone else have the same problem or did anyone have it and how did you fix it?

I'm trying to imagine the jetsons bubble car sound lol, but I can't. My slimlines got louder with time but not even close to bubbles sound.
Maybe you have a leak or your hearing the TB chucking? I can hear the chucking through the big sucker AC but it was more after the cams were replaced.
Some guys use a cigarette lighter to check for leaks, a leak will blow the flame.
Still can't get the bubble sound and a Harley to match up.

I've listened to the aforementioned Jetson's sound bite, those pipes got to go! That's just plain aggravating.

Is is coming from the front? I made the mistake of using the stock tapered gaskets up front when I first put them on. Later I found out what the square cut O-rings were for. Lose the tapered muffler gaskets and installed the O-rings gaskets into the heads and nice tight fit.

OldPhat, I am using the the Rinehart 4" rounds. I talked to Rinehart today and they said they would warranty any defective parts that my dealer can find. So far, they are standing behind their product.

Magnut1, it is coming from the rear only on deceleration. I tested all the bolts to make sure nothing was loose and I also did the lighter test on the joints while the bike was running. All were fine. So now it is making me wonder what's going on. I hope it is something they can fix.
