Default Looking for advise on what to do next.

Just put on a SE heavy breather on my 07 SG. I have an old set of SE I muffs on and really don't like the "quiet". Had the dealer do a remap for the new air cleaner. I am not planning on putting new headers on but want more "crack" out of the mufflers. My rides are 300 to 400 miles max on a good day. What slip on mufflers do you recommend. Do I need a fuel mgt. system? If not don't want to spend the bucks.

Thanks

I've added the Rhineharts to my EG. At first they were pretty quiet compared to the SE touring pipes I had on. But after a few hundred miles I noticed they got louder. Very happy with them. Bike has the SE stage I air cleaner, Rhinehart slip ons and a Power Commander USBIII, followed up with a Dyno to dial it all in. Very happy.

When you say you had the dealer do a remap how did he do that without a fuel management system ? I like the Vance & Hines Oval slip ons.

If you would like a little more then the SE... The Rush might be what you're looking for as you can pick your sound levels by the size of the baffles...

FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.... I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you get one... There are many to pick from - If you'll be happy with the basic stage 1 then I would consider the V&H FuelPak it's a great system for the $$$ - From there a PCIII but to truely dial it in for peak performance you should have a dyno done and that's more $$$ - Thunder Max with Auto Tune would be the grand daddy of them all as it will Auto Adjust to your system...

Thanks SoCal_Pappy but I am looking for slip-ons only. Bike is brand new with less than 300 miles. Don't want to do a fuel management system or full pipes just yet.

Straight out of the box and onto the bike, which slip-ons have the highest sound increase?

Thanks again.

FYI - Thunder Headers make a slip-on...
