RE: Exhaust
Here's another option to confuse you some more. I have Supertrapp's on my '03 E Glide Classic. Nice low rumble, and can hear the radio with no problems. Good Luck. Once you get that real Harley sound you will be grinning from ear to ear.

RE: Exhaust
Most agree that if you use a pair of slip-ons and a better air cleaner setup - you should do something to enrichen the injectors - I would vote for the PCIII unless you want to go for the SERT - but, better make sure someone at your dealership knows how to setup the SERT first. Personally, I have found qualified race tuner men quite rare. Since I use the V&H Ovals, I went with their fuel pak - cheap and I don't need a laptop. I will eventually modify the engine and then think about a better option.

RE: Exhaust
>>As to your question about exhaust, you're gonna get lots of opinions here. <<
Yeah, after reading numerous posts both here and over at RK Riders, it gets more confusing than ever. Everyone makes good points, and most are correct in their opinions. Just comes down to personal preference. On my FXD, I had the V&H Big Shots, which were brutal at speed. So, when I got my RK Custom, I started browsing the boards. After getting my head WAY too full, I finally just sprung for the V&H Ovals -- should be here soon. I also ordered the Fuelpak, which I'll put on when I do the Stage-1.
During this process, I listened to many bikes at the local MoCo dealer -- problem is, I liked every dang one of them! Which probably means that, in the end, most are gonna sound good!

RE: Exhaust
The best advice I can give on exhaust is to listen to the types you are thinking of everybody has a different opinion on sound. What is good to one will be annoying to another. For what you say you are looking for you would like the S.E slip on's I think. But go listen to some different types first. Most service departments have bikes with several types and usually they will let you listen to several different ones.
Good luck.
Good luck.
