Rush question
I've got a 2007 FLHX. I have 2" Rush slip ons. They weren't loud enough so I removed the packing, cut them in half and put them back in. Sound wise, they are pretty close to what I want (although just a bit hollow sounding). Definitely wouldn't want to be any quieter. I'm about to purchase a Fuel Pak and K&N high flow but cannot find a map for this specific muffler set up. So I'm thinking about buying 2.5" baffles and maybe the Fullsac True Dual Conversion...V&H has a program for this set up. My question is, will the 2.5" baffles be louder, similar, or quieter than the 2" cut in half? Anyone have any experience/opinions with this?

RE: Rush question
I can't tell you how much different it will be, I've never heard the sound with baffles cut. The only way I know to tune something custom like that is going to be with a race tuner on the dyno. If you're motor is basically stock, except for the Stage 1, I would steer clear of the 2.5", just not enough motor for that much exhaust. You can call Rush and talk to them about this. That said, I have a stock, '08 RK with Arlen Ness Big Sucker, FuelPak and Rush 2.25". I don't hear it much, I'm in front of it, but the first time I left the house with it, my ol' lady said, oh yeah, the neighbors are going to love you! She said this after living for years with a shovel and 2" straight drags, so I know it's plenty loud. Oh yeah, when I put all this on (last Thursday) I about peed my pants on how it improved the performance.
