Default exhaust question???

I have an 03 Road King Classic and want some new pipes with a big sound. I have Rineharts on my V-Rod and love them.
What in ya'lls opinion are the best sounding/looking pipes to run without having to make any major mods? I'd appreciate suggestions and comments. Thanks.

You can get by with just about any slip-on with out a problem - But you're also not going to gain anything but the sound... If ya do the stage 1 (Air Kit & Fuel Management Syatem) along with your pipes\slip-ons you'll increase the performance...

Which one??? Do a search as there's atleast 2 - 4 threads asking the same question daily...

Oh ya... Welcome to the Touring Section

The VRod guys seem to like the Cary Fass Racing slip ons. So you could be different, Rineharts on your Vrod an Cary Fass on you RK. They do look and sound good!

Just put on Rush 1.75's last night on my 2007 RK. I love the sound. No other mods made at this time. The dealership told me whenI bought them to expect popping on decel - wellI haven't had any yet. They are just loud enough on accel and sound great going down the road.

I put the Rinehart slip-ons on my 08 SG and they sound good but are pricey. Many other slip-ons out there for a better price but I liked the looks and sound so I paid the premium.
