Default Looking at Python mufflers

Looking to put Pythons on my Road King. Anyone have any thoughts? How is the sound? Thanks for the help.

I don't know how they'll sound on your King, but I had a set on an FXE I used to have and they were the best sounding pipes I ever had.

Good luck,

John

I've got the python predators on my 08 EGC. I love them. Nice rumble at idol, and they're at their best in sixth gear.

I have a pair if your interested. $150.00 plus shipping. I went to a Fat Cat, but the Pythons were great!

Had a pair of Python slip-ons installed prior to delivery on my RK. They are satisfying, but not too loud. I'm not concerned about bothering the neighbors so much any more. The V&H's Staggered pipes I had on my last bike were great, just a bit too loud and pricey.
