Question Exhaust recommendations, and other stuff.

Yes I know another exhaust question.

I have an otherwise stock carbed 88" with S&S 509 cams. Currently has stock air cleaner, stock pipe with old Hooker "tuned flow" slip ons.

If you've been paying attention to my other threads, I got in an accident and now have some fun money to play with and am looking at replacing the exhaust. From what I've read the 509 is a "torque cam" and I've also read that 2 into 1 exhausts are good for torque. I also wouldn't mind something with a little more mellow sound as the Hooker's are quite loud.

I'm looking at the Rinehard 2 into 1 system on Fuel Moto's website and it looks pretty nice. Would you recommend something like this as a good "match" to my cam?

Also would you recommend getting an aftermarket freer-flowing air cleaner to complement the cam and exhaust?

I kind of like the look of the stock football air cleaner. Will swapping in a K&N filter make a significant difference in airflow?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Most of the 2-1 exhausts I have heard are on the loud side too so make sure you know what you're buying. They are a great performing exhaust though. If it were me I would get a good combo of A/C and exhaust to go with your cams and that may also mean rejetting your carb.

Yeah I figured on having to jet the carb. There's a million different options out there. Maybe I'll call FM in the morning and chat with them.

I would go supertrapp or fuelmoto they are disc systems and are pretty darn adjustable for power and sound. You also have some options for look but rather limited.

Why be stuck with one sound ?? One look ??

You can also get slipons with the disc setup.
