Default SLIPON comparison?

&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
looking for opinions on V&amp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;H ovals versus Reinharts.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
Considering more sound out of my 08 105TH UC.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
Want to hear the Harley rumble when riding but don't want to wake up the local&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;LEO either.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
What say you?
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
Thanks for your thoughts/suggestions.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;

These are not audio files of V&amp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\;H or Reinharts...but it'll give you something to compare to.

The way the fuelmoto chokes down the left side does a great job at getting a little more low end torque to the rear tire.

The first file is Rush 2.5" slip-ons

This is the fuelmoto with a choked down 1.75" in the left and a 2" on the right

This is the choked down 1.75" on left and 2.5" on the right

+1 on the V&amp\\;H Ovals, put mine on Friday night and spent the entire weekend enjoying the rumble.&nbsp\\; Good cruising sound, nice bark when on the gas, left early in the morning and no one heard me.&nbsp\\; Great all around sound.

my vote is for the SuperTrapp SE slip-ons.&nbsp\\; I had them installed about a month ago and LOVE them.&nbsp\\; I ride a 07 EGC and wanted a little more of that HD sound we all love.&nbsp\\; These things fit the bill.&nbsp\\; Not real loud, just the perfect HD sound I wanted.&nbsp\\; While driving 70-75mph no need to adjust the radio.&nbsp\\; Though town right sound not to **** anyone off which is great!!&nbsp\\; I have heard the Rush 1.75 are good too but have some popping on decell.&nbsp\\; Not these SuperTrapps.&nbsp\\; My dealer said that happens with the Rush but not with SuperTapp.&nbsp\\; People on the forum may have more info on that than me though.

After weeks of reading and looking, I finally ordered a set of V&amp\\;\\\\\\;H Oval slip-ons&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;last night for my SG. Seen them on bikes and they fit well. Plan on taking video of the bike in stock form then with the new mufflers for comparison. Figure I can always add headers if I want it to be louder but will see how they sound first.

My other choices were Rush 2.0's and Rineharts which was my second choice but wasn't crazy about the end cap issues and finally heard theim in person in TD form last weekend, They were definitely too loud for me. Took the middle road this time and went with the Ovals. Got tired of thinking about them.
