Default help with exhaust

I have a 2007 road king with true duals and some American custom classic slip ons. They sound good but I am trying to get to a sound that I heard on a 2015 with stock pipes and screaming eagles slip ons.


I purchased some screaming eagle street cannons they are ok at idle but once you get on the gas its way to loud and loses the deep throaty sound. not sure if its because of the true dual head pipes or wrong slip ons. if anyone might be able to help thanks in advance.

It's the true duals. I had cannons & they were great with catted headers but when I put on open headers they got too loud & very raspy. Lots of other guys with same issue. Try some Jackpot's, not too loud & nice rumble.

My guess is you lack the catted headpipe of the 2015 that's toneing everything down.

It's the true duals, no balance pipe to mellow out the sound, you can get S-E Nightsticks,
they are tune able. Just add or take out Diffusion disc will change the sound output.

Which removable baffle do you have in your AC slipons? Or no baffle at all? I have the AC slipons/no baffle with the stock header on my '14 RK, and they sound great.
