RE: Hooker Header slip ons
I had a set on my bike too. The only thing I didn't like was having to clean and lube the adjustment screws. If I didn't do that on a regular basis, they would seize up and become difficult to loosen up and turn.

Like the poster above, this is my 3rd bagger with the Hooker slip-ons. They still have the most awesome sound I've ever heard on a bagger. Not for the faint of heart though. I tried the Rush 2.25" mufflers just to try something different. Sold them after 10 miles. The Rush sounded very nice indeed, and are a great bargain for the price. However, the Hookers sound awesome. Personally, I prefer awesome to nice.

RE: Hooker Header slip ons
I had Hookers with my 2001 RKC, too. They sounded great, but were a little loud at times. With earphones, if I turned up the ipod all the way I could hear the music unless I really got on it. With my new bike, I think I'll try something with a little less sound. PS, the wife really liked the sound of the Hookers. She said that they really sounded like a Harley should.
I had no dip in power with the Hookers. The dyno chart showed afairly smooth line with70 HP and 80 ft/lb torque using the Hookers and other stage 1 only equipment on an 88ci engine.

Has anyone tried drilling out the baffles for more sound?

RE: Hooker Header slip ons
The YouTube soundclip from above is of my bike, I posted that about a year or so ago. I since sold the Hooker slip ons and put a set of V&H Big shot duals on the bike, Well I ditched the Big Shots and put a new set of Hookers back on!! I just love the way they sound, I was not happy at all with the big shots.I just didnt enjoy starting my bike up and riding as much until i had some more Hookers!!
I LOVE HOOKERS! LOL!
