Default Road king apex

Good morning everyone,
I am officially a Road King owner!!!! I still have and love my soft-tail Fat BOB but this new touring platform will be a much appreciated addition for longer rides. Thinking about upgrading the exhaust tips with either TAB performance or Vance and Hines slip ons. For those of you that have the Tabs, are the zombie baffles crazy loud?? I like loud but when I added a cam to my fat bob it made it seem twice as loud and I really dont want to do that with this bike.

Congrats!

From what I've seen and heard, the Tabs with the Zombie baffles are some of the louds slip-ons you can put on it. If you don't want crazy loud it would probably be better to go with something else.

Congrats on the bike.

I had TAB Performance Zombie Baffles. They were louder than stock, no doubt, but nowhere near as loud as my 96 Twin Cam. They have a bite in the rumble, but not bad and they don't drone on long rides. If you want louder, get them. If you get something else and wanted louder, you'll be buying twice. The 4.5" is a little deeper in sound than the 4" but both are nice with a deep bass.

If you're wondering, I only got rid of mine because I traded my friend for his S&S because he wanted chrome and I wanted black. I would not hesitate to buy them again.
