I know this has been beat to death but I'm worn out from searching. After reading about a million posts on exhaust I think I want to put the Rush Slip On's with 2" baffle on my 09 RK.
I'm not really after the added power, etc....I just want this bike to sound better than stock.
I've done a lot of searches on where to buy but I would like input from y'all here.
1) price will be main determining factor
2) vendor must have good customer service
Thanks in advance.

I have Rush mufflers now with the special Fuel Moto baffles (same as in the Dyno-tuned Jackpots) and will be changing to Jackpots soon. I would recommend their Dyno-Tuned versions ($30 more at $299) over the mufflers with standard baffles, as performance will be better and you'll likely want to install an EFI controller and free-flowing AC one day in the future. In fact, you might consider this now since the Fuel Moto Power Package (PCV, AC, and Jackpots) is cheaper than buying the components separately. I also like the sound of the Jackpot over Rush, but that's subjective.

+1 on the Rush 1.75. I origianlly had the Jackpot Dyno tuned mufflers and thought them to be too loud, so I sold them. I like the sound of the Rush mufflers better - sound is subjective and everyone's ears, likes and dislikes are different. I got mine on Ebay from North Shore Motorcycles at a cost of $290 plus shipping.

Fuel Moto should be #1 on your list for mufflers and other exhaust/intake components as well as EFI controllers. Their prices will be near lowest and customer service at the very top. I would seriously consider their Jackpot mufflers, which are nearly identical to Rush except have an internal heat shield that reduces or eliminates color changes.

I appreciate all the help

I ordered the Rush with 2" but after reading your post I called Keith back and talked to him about the Jackpots....said he would put the Jackpots on his bike before the Rush and the packing has lifetime warranty and deeper throaty sound....so needless to say we changed my order to the dyno tuned jackpots. He said I could always change baffles out on them too.

I have Rush 1.75's (slashed down) and love the sound and look. I have been very pleased with mine.
Honestly, the only reasons I went with Rush were the price and I had Rush mufflers on a street rod I use to have.
