Screaming Eagle slip ons....
I have a 207 FLHTP- I see three or four different SE SLIP ons for the touring models- Which one is more free flowing? or are they all the same? Is there one that is louder & or has removable baffles??

RE: Screaming Eagle slip ons....
It depends on what you are looking for in the sound, the SE's are just a few decibles louder than stock. That is why most say they are a waste of money. In all honesty there is no reason asking the opinion of pipes,seat or whatever. It comes down to what you like!! I am looking for pipes now, I am just tring to listen to bikes as I ride around to see what may suit me. You will get 10,000 opinions, just buy what is right for you. Louder is not always better!! Sometimes loud is annoying!!
Good luck

Last year, I put a set of Samson Rolled Thunders on my RK. Really dug 'em for a while - and they're still nice. Now though, when I start 'er up, it sounds super bad-a$$, but after a few hours rolling down the interstate, they kinda get on my nerves.

+1 for Louder is not always better.

I like mine. They’re quiet but as the RPM rises, so does the sound. They’re obviously not as loud as headers but they work for me.
Whatever type of slip-ons you do decide to buy be sure to install new clamps so you won’t be fixing it properly later. Don’t ask me how I know this.

Do yourself a favor. Look at the SuperTrapp SE Touring slipons.
Great subtle sound and they are proven to provide MORE HP AND MORE TORQUE than the other slipons on the market. I can't find the link to the test that compared slipons. Great muffler and you can put many different end caps on if you want.
They are actually more like the older Screamin' Eagle touring mufflers prior to the EPA arm twisting.

RE: Screaming Eagle slip ons....
I am very happy with my SE slip-ons. I got them from a buddy who went to true-duals on his '06 Ultra. He got them out of the H-D Race Only Catalog. They are a lot louder and deeper than stock, but not unpleasant, even after riding all day.
