Default RE: Rush vs. Screamin Eagle

Just another endorsement. I have the Rush 2.0" on my '07 RKCustom and I couldn't be happier. When researching for new pipes i looked and listened to Rush, SE, V&H and Reinharts. Everyone seems to really like the Reinharts lately. I found them to sound to...what was the word? "Brappy", by the way perfect word for the sound. Anyway I really like em and riding two up at high speed not annoying at all for both rider and passenger. By the way I have the slash-cut up style.

I must be gett'in old[:@]. I got the Rush 1.75's and found them too loud when on the throttle. Replaced the 1.75 baffles with 1.5's and still think they are a bit too loud but will keep them anyway. The Rush pipes do have a great sound and customer service is awesome.

Anybodyinterested in buyingmy 1.75 baffles? (for about $30 shipped?) They only have about 200 miles on them. The packing is loose on both and should be replaced or at least re-taped (they just use masking tape that burns off).

I had the SE IIs (64985-07 with end caps). They were quieter than the stock mufflers. Now I have th rush with 2.0 baffles and love them. The photo shows the SEs but the Rush's I ordered have the same look.

The SEs are for sale.

Roadglider.... you also have the 95 cu in motor which will sound louder for sure .... so very well could be that you are not gettn too old as: 1. You have more motor, and 2. You may just like a little more solitude.... which is why I ride a Road King now as I had three bikes with CD/tape/radio, and two with CB/Intercom.... to much noise. So, I must be gettn older also as I do not need much more than a nice rumble....

I guess I'm getting old. I'm currently running a Rinehart 2-1 on my 98" (37G/ported heads) Eglide and would like to quiet things up a bit without killing the performance. I'm also looking to go back to the 2 pipe look (at least for now). Will the baffle size on the Rush mufflers affect performance? I'm guessing it would. Here's what I'm considering in no particular order.
[/align]
[/align]Rush - what size baffle?
[/align]Supertrapp SE
[/align]D&D Police Interceptor - how do the stainless mufflers look compared to chrome?
[/align]S&S SPO - I don't know if I can handle the looks, although I haven't seen them other than a few pics.
[/align]
[/align]Any input in helping me with a decision will be appreciated.
[/align]
[/align]Thanks,
[/align]Rick
