Actually you are very wrong. The performance baffles are way louder. They have a little annoying rattle on decel but WAY louder. Believe me I had the standard Rinehart baffles and they went from so so to really loud. They sound great!!

 

This came straight from BUB, I just asked the question about the cost of the performancebaffles and would I need to re-dyno

 

I know Brad. I have talked to him a lot this week because I was annoyed by the rattle sound from the performance baffles. They made my Rinehart true duals WAY louder. I mean WAY louder. When I first got my True Duals I was really pissed. I spent all that cash for something that sounded a little above slip ons. I installed the performance baffles and WOW!!!! They really kick a$$. You can even ask Jerrard at Sun Harley here in Thorton Colorado. He was listening to the sound I was worried about. He said he can understand my concern but he said he loved the sound of the baffles. I would never do a stock Rinehart baffle.

 

I just put Wild Pigs on my '08 Road Glide today. They are the standard 1-3/4" baffle. Bought the from www.kruzerproducts.com. Only $185 shipped to my door. I bought them because of the good reviews and they are one of the cheaper ways to go. They are seconds but look better than the stock HD mufflers I took off. There are a few very minor blemishes but the bags cover the mufflers and I will never own a show bike. They are louder than I thought they would be. Noticibly louder than my the SE slipons on my '02 Ultra. Didn't notice any change in performance. Bike still runs great with no popping. Sounds like a Harley now instead of a Harley with a restricted exhaust. I would buy them again.

drrandall1,

The reason I asked BUB is that a friend of mine has a new set he can't use and was going to let me have them for a 50 spot. So I started doing my homework on them. Did you feel any change in your low-end performance and did you re-dyno your bike after install.

 

I can't dyno my bike til the 1000 mile service. Only has 350 miles on it. Seems nothing has changed. Just a little noisier and sputters a little more on decel.

 

Everybody wants their own sound or perceived sound. A few things make finding one that is just right difficult.
Exhaust sounds different when riding on vs. riding next to a bike. This kinda explains that "why doesn't my bike sound as good as my buddies bike".
The same exhaust system will sound different on different bikes. Compression and cams have a huge affect on the sound.

Find a system that is close to your "ideal" and be sure there is the ability to customize the sound with alternative baffles, fiberglass wrap and other modifications.
Match the flow with your motor.
Decide whether you want low end or higher end performance.

And most important of all .... buy the shiniest ones! LMAO

 

I just wanted volume. With the Rinehart pipes and performance baffles you get deep, and loud. I think it has to be the best sound for the EFI bikes.
