Default Exhaust

Getting ready to buy new exhaust for my 08 Ultra (Rhinehardt True Duals), what are your opinions?

RH true duals are not a great choice for a stock motored bike, they actually hurt your low end TQ.

I was waiting for a couple of 08 remarks. I am in the military and yes through the Military Car Sales, we can order 08 bikes, just signed my purchase order. When you aks a question about exhaust, you get a response about the year, does it really matter. If you can't give your opinion about what is asked, don't answer.

Just installed a set on my RK Classic. As said, "very small" low end loss, but the sound is music to my ears and well worth it. They sound great and I wished I'd put'em on sooner! Go for it!!

Take it ezzz

Jeez...chill out man. You said you expected an '08 question and you got to tell us how you were able to get an '08 where the rest of us can't. I respect that your in the military and think it's great that you are able to order an '08. I think your post was more to let us know you're able to get an '08 more than what exhaust to order.

Your asking a question about a bike that isn't out yet. How is anyone suppose to offer any help if there is no first hand experience? We as a group have no clue as to what if any changes have been made to the 08's. Snapping at replies isn't a good way to get help. If it were asked in more of a general way than the 07 guys would be able to offer their opinion. You stated an 08 and my first thought was a typo. Good luck.....

You guys are correct, the 07 and 08 bikes have the same TC96 and 6 speed trannys, I not being a smart man would assume that the exhuast would sound the same. I am interested in what kind of exhaust people have found to be the best for their Ultras. Me ordering an 08 is not the point of the post, there will be a whole lot of people with 08s soon. I had a question about pipes and to the people that just gave me their opinion about exhaust, thanks.
