Default Mufflers

I have a 2019 Ultra Limited 114 with 60 K on it. At new I put on a set of RCX mufflers and de-catted the pipe and tuned it. As I always said M8's sound like **** and I miss the 103 sound. So years later M8's has been out for awhile are there any good sounding mufflers out there? Looking for a deep rumble

it isn't the mufflers. it's the cam. if you want to really get a good sound, change the cam out. lots of options out there. you'll not only get a better sound, but you'll pick up some hp/torque as well. win-win.

can’t say enough good things about Khromewerks HP+ mufflers. I was a lifelong rinehart guy till I tried these on my 2021 cvo. They have been on every touring bike since then.

Ive had S&S MK45 on mine since 500 miles. At 9000 I put a 22xd in it, much improved sound and performance. Old school big block sound now

Put a SS 475 in a friends bike. At the time he had CFR mufflers on it. That was absolutely the best sounding bike Ive heard. It was to loud and he changed the mufflers out.

I put the Khromeworks 4.5" cans on my ’22 Road Glide Special. I like the look and the performance, but I sold that bike to a friend and get to listen to it often. It’s only slightly louder than the bone stock exhaust I run on my ’24 police Road King with 114.
