Default Rush vs Supertrapp Slip-on
I just bought a new '08 Road King, and am close to ordering a powerpack from Fuel Moto. I was looking for opinions on the sound/performance of the Rush vs the Supertrapp SE slip-on exhaust. Obviously I'm looking for a power increase, but a nice deep tone is just as important. Thanks!

I asked Jamie @ feul moto the same question and he told me the rush mufflers.

Or you can do what I did and install the performance baffles into the Supertrapp SE's if you prefer the look. I don't think Jamie has the Rush mufflers with the billet end caps. The performance baffles should fit into any 3 1/2" muffler body.

I just installed Rush, they are very deep. Went with straight 2 inch for both. They sound very good.

Was this a difficult task, is it the same map as the one used on the Rush? Do the original baffles come out easily?

Piece of cake Steve. The SE baffles slid right out once the end caps were removed. I had to tap the Rush baffles in a little with a piece of wood and a rubber mallet to get them in position. They have to be inserted about 1/2" in from the end of the muffler body so you can reinstall the end caps. On the original baffles, there were threaded inserts that the retaining screws went into that held the endcaps on. All you would need would be 1/4 20 nuts & lockwashers to screw these bolts into. Since it is a nice snug fit, I don't think it is necessary to drill a hole for the retaining screw for the new baffles. It is the MAP Jamie provides for the Rush baffles. I really like the tone and volume of these. Fairly tame under normal acceleration, but definiately bark when you get on it.
