RE: Stock Exhaust making me miserable
Do the pipes for now. I hated the sound also so thats what i did on my 08UC. Went with rush. The extra heat drove me to get the sert and se filter with the dyno. That did solve the problem and runs better to boot. Well worth blowing chrome budget on.

I own an 08 e-glide standard. and I just cant bare the sound of those stock pipes any longer. God as magnificent a machine this is, its horrible when no one even hears you pull up in the drive way. This is borderline embarrassing. It is a Big twin ya know? Ok, so I know this has been posted many times, so pls forgive me as I am new to the forum. But I am just wondering what I can do to change this with a small budget. Just dont have the money to do a complete stage 1 right now. What pipes can I go with without effecting the bike running lean or rich or effecting the torque etc. I guess what Im trying to ask is, what can I do to make bike a little louder without spending a boat load of cash. Just something til I can afford to do the whole stage 1.

Wow. Actually *I'M* embarrassed for you. I don't know what's worse... the fact that you had to drop every last available penny to spend >$15k on your bike to join a "me too" crowd, or that you feel you need to get further validation by putting "look at me" noise makers on it 'cause just buying in isn't enough. It's kinda sad, really.

King Kong,
I've recently experienced your frustration and had to make the same choices.....I found this forum very helpful then, but for some reason these folks are blasting you.....(Scratching my head)
Back to your question:
Just yesterday I installed a setup from fuelmoto.usa that cured all my issues with sound and performance. The whole system cost less than a set of truduals alone and it truely is worth every cent.
I spent 750 bucks for the following------
-Specially designed and crafted pair of Rush slipons
-PCIII USB
-K&N 3909 air filter kit
-Custom fuel map created by Jamie himself
I'll insist there is no half-way fix. I strongly suggest you do not attempt to piece it together in stages as you can afford it. You really are better off to decide where you want to end up and then do it all at once when you can afford it.
If all you want is to cure the heat, low power-low noise issues, then I cannot suggest a better/cheaper solution than the kit from fuelmoto.

the dude just wants his bike to sound like a harley. okay, so he used more colorful language to describe it, but so what? it makes for a more interesting read then 'i want louder pipes, whatcha suggest?'
i haven't (and probably won't either) researched your posts, but i have noticed that i see your name associated with a lot of negative posts. have you posted anything other than a flame? if not, maybe you oughta see a shrink about that holier than thou complex you got going on.....

I just installed these baffles and they are awesome. Consider the package with Rush slip-ons, K&N AC, and PCIII.
