I just put this package on my 09 Roadglide and I'm pleased with the performance. However they are not as loud as I wanted. I miss riding country roads and listening to my pipes. I had V & H classic slip ons on my 06 they they were much better. Good sound and I could still hear the radio. Fuel Moto did sell me a larger baffel which helped some. Maybe after they burn in some they will sound better. I think the next time I buy pipes I'll go to a swap meet or someplace where I can hear them.

Wow, it just goes to show you how subjective sound can be. I've been down this road before with Rineharts I'm now taking the position that a little too quiet is better than a little too loud. I'm just hoping that these Jackpots sound better than stock and that the PCV and AC kit will perform as advertised while correcting the overly lean setting and cooling things down a bit.

I also had the Rush 1.75's on my 08 but mine were combined with Rinehart True Dual headpipes. The Rush were very close to what I want in sound but still a little loud for my taste. Plus the True Duel system seemed to rob some low end torque. I've ordered up the Fuel Moto package for the new 09 and it will be here on Friday. Everything I'm hearing on this package is positive so far. No need for the True Duals and dyno charts showing a 14hp increase when installed on the stock head-pipes along with the PCV and AC. I'm highly optimistic that this is the way to go.

Had a chance to ride my bike for over an hour yesterday...side roads and highway...
I just installed the Fuel Moto Kit last weekend or the weekend before...
Bike runs real strong...it is responsive as hell...
My two cents...
The Jackpot Dyno Tuned Mufflers sound great, but they are kind of quiet for some tastes...I cant decide if I need it louder or not yet..
I cant imagine anyone would think they are too loud.

By Far the Best Bang for the Buck. The Bike sounds the way I wanted it, Made it deeper and just a the right volume to be comfortable for cruising all day long.
The performance gain is great. Here is the Dyno of my 07 the top numbers are after I had the package tweaked on a Dyno.
The Numbers are hard to Read in the Scan: 77 HP 91.6 TQ
