Default Rush Pipes

I'm getting ready to take my 08 street glide in for it's 1000 mi check and am having a stage 1 done. to it while it's in the shop.&nbsp\\;I wanted to add some new slipons to add a better tone without going too loud. The dealer suggests Rush slipons 1 3/4 for a deeper tone and adding a little louder sound. Does anyone have comments on these?

+1 on the 2.25 Rush Slip Ons.&nbsp\\; I think the 1 3/4 are way to quiet and don't give the "sound" of a Harley

+1 Rush 2.25".&nbsp\\; I thought the 2.25" were actually kind of quiet, but I'm not behind the RK, I'm on it.&nbsp\\; Have had nothing but compliments on the sound.&nbsp\\; I like the fact you can be relatively quiet if you are off throttle, but can make some noise with a lot of throttle.&nbsp\\; The 1.75" is supposed to be somewhat a stock replacement, they have a 1.5" for those who want to go quieter still.&nbsp\\; The 2" and 2.25" get a little louder and deeper tone, makes sense to me, just listen to some drag pipe bikes running 1.75" and 2".&nbsp\\; The 2" is much deeper, less raspy.&nbsp\\; There is also a 2.5", but when talking to the guys at Rush, they recommend 110" or bigger engine for these.

I have the 08 Ultra-Classic (105th Anniversary), I have been wanting to replace the stock mufflers with the RUSH Slip-ons in order to change the sound of the bike.&nbsp\\;I have been told a number of different things (from different sources) about replacing the stock mufflers with any&nbsp\\;after market slip-ons.
&nbsp\\;
1.) If I replace the the stock slip-ons, I will be required&nbsp\\;to add the Stage&nbsp\\;1 A/C and have the&nbsp\\;ECM remapped in order for the bike to run at factory specs and prevent overheating issues.
&nbsp\\;
2.) If I replace the stock slip-ons, ensure the exhaust diameter is the same as the stock exhaust. If I increase the exhaust exit diameter, I would be required to add the Stage&nbsp\\;1&nbsp\\;A/C and have the ECM remapped in order for the bike to run at factory specs and prevent overheating issues.
&nbsp\\;
3.) If I replace the&nbsp\\;stock slip-ons with anything other than the Screamin Eagle exhaust, I would be required to add the Stage 1 A/C and have the&nbsp\\;ECM reampped in order for the bike to run at factory specs and prevent overheating issues.
&nbsp\\;
I contacted Harley's customer service at the factory, they said I could&nbsp\\;replace the stock&nbsp\\;slip-ons with the Screamin Eagle slip-ons with out changing anything else. The bike would run within factory specs.
&nbsp\\;
At this point, I'm not sure&nbsp\\;which after market exhaust to purchase. Let me know how the bike sounds and runs after the changes.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

I have the 2" and I'm happy with them. You may even want the 2.25" as the 2" are not that lound at all.&nbsp\\; I leave at 6am and don't wake the wife, kids or neighbors...

I like the Rush mufflers.&nbsp\\; I started with the 2.25 on my 06 and thought they were perfect.&nbsp\\; Added them to my 89 and they seemed to quite for it, may have something to with the anti-reversion cones, so I went up to 2.5 on it, which made it right in IMHO.
&nbsp\\;
I changed the 06 to the 1.75 when I was dealing with&nbsp\\;decel pop after adding the thundermax auto tune and thought they were a little too mild, but after I added the Andrew 26G cams, I think they are all good again and I have zero decel pop.

Go with Jamie at FuelMoto.&nbsp\\; If I didn't have such a great deal on the SE (pre-EPA) slips, I would have pulled the trigger on a the FuelMoto package.&nbsp\\; I have followed my buddy with his 2.25 Rush pipes and it is fine.&nbsp\\; Get up next to him and you can hardly hear them.&nbsp\\; He said the same thing about my SE slips.&nbsp\\; Anything is better than stock and with the EPA on the back of Harley, you will never see anything louder from the factory than what is produced today.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
EddyPear, I went through the same thing with my 07 EGC.&nbsp\\; As harley said, you are not required to do ECM or anything.&nbsp\\; Some on this site, even say to keep the stock Air Cleaner because you get more power when you change the pipes out.&nbsp\\; I did it all, SE slips, SE/AC, and SERT (with dyno) and I love my "bagger".&nbsp\\; I have no problems getting into, out of, or around traffic.&nbsp\\; Hope this helps.&nbsp\\; Later Gator, Remi
