Hi all new to the forum.
I have a 2017 CVO 117cube Ultra. Living in sunny Australia.
Love the bike but it is dead quiet. Need some noise
I want to put some slip ons to bring it to life.
I have been told the Reinharts are pretty good.
Not sue about 4" or 4.5"
Do I need a tuner if I put them on?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers, Norm

So, as someone who just did this the past few weeks, let me give you my personal experience.
I put on V&H Daytona 400 slip ons, two weeks ago. The sound was, different, but not necessarily louder. More throaty, I would say. You will likely get limited sound out of it with JUST the slip ons.
Yesterday, I put a high flow air cleaner, and a Powervision tuner, that was programmed for both my slip ons and the air cleaner, and MAN what a difference. The bike actually sounds like a harley now. I am not sure how that works, maybe it a better fuel ratio, maybe it just opens everything up more, but it sounds NICE.
Put the slip ons on, you will be fine. I suggest saving up for a good air cleaner, and a quality tuner, to get the most out of it though. Power AND sound.

Also , keep in mind that your header has a built in " Cat " . If you ever decide to change the headers you'll notice whatever slip ons you put on will be a little louder , and it will reduce the amount of heat you'll feel when out riding .
