Default Pipes?

Traded my Street Bob in on a 08 FLHR yesterday, already put 300 miles on it. Great bike, but the 08's sound like a kitten. Hell my wife snores and rumbles louder. Thinking about a "sert" w/ V&H long shots, but don't want to sound like every other RK in town and I'm not ready to crack a new engine for a cam. Any suggestions?

Well if your going to put on V&H LONG SHOTS then you won't be like most tour bikes... They're LOUD..... And both pipes dunp to the right side only... Buddy has them on his '06 RG and we let him follow the rest of us (lol)

Don't forget you'll also need to do an Air Kit to finish off the Stage 1

I have reinharts on my 07 UC and love the low rumble. Had V&H longshots on a roadstar. Way too loud for a bagger.

I have the Vance & Hines Big Shot Duals on my RK with the fishtail II tips and they look and sound sweet.
