Default 09 RKC - Exhaust options
Just did the 1000 mile service on the 09 RKC, love the bike but it's way too quiet.. Appt next week for stage 2 and lowering kit (5'9" ) am confused on which way to go for exhaust - looking for big bark and increase in perfomance. I know the exhaust thing has MANY posts but I undertand my options are limited on the 09..? suggestions?

Can't speak to increased performance, but a set of V&H Basic Slip-On's will give you a good, DEEP bark. They are one of the cheaper (though not cheapest) options as well.

I have Rinehart slip on's. Nice Muscle car sound and good bark when on the juice.
