RC Components 4.5 slipons
I tried a search on RC 4.5 inch slipons and all I got was a thread on a PV. Anyone have experience with these and how do they sound? I know someone with the 4 inch and sound ok. Not really satisfied with the MGS mufflers I have now.

Can't speak for the 4.5's, but my RC Xhaust Pipes finish is still excellent and I have been running them for nearly 5 years. Still diggin' on the low, mellow sound, too.
I had them put on before I took delivery of my bike, but a few months later I got rid of the cat with V/H Power Duals, man o man, that really woke those pipes up!
Got to lose the cat, got to lose that cat!

Jaystn62 I dont know what part of Ky your from, but I was at Wildcat Harley yesterday an they had 15% off of the RC Components slip ons. 20 % off if you let them do the install. They have several bikes in the show room with those on them.

I haven't heard the 4.5's but my 4's sound great. They sound deep and throaty at idle and do bark when you get that twisty feeling in your right hand but the beauty is that they do mellow out nicely at highway speeds. RC fit and finish is top notch as well.
I would think the 4.5's would have similar sound as the 4's but perhaps a bit deeper?

I'm running the S&S Power Tune duals. Seems MGS slip ons are about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 shorter than the stock slip ons and barely cover end of new head pipe. Hoping the RCs are more like stock length.
I rode up to Bowling Green and stopped in to RC Components on Thursday,just to check out the 4.5s for my new Road King. They look and sound very nice and yep they are on my upgrade list for sure.

Those appear to fit a lot better than the MGS slip ons I currently have.
