Muffler choice
It is a tough call but I have an '08 Electra Glide Classic and went with a Fuel Moto setup. The mufflers were the Dyno tuned. Sounds awsome when crack the throttle and not bad cruising. HOWEVER it did get a little annoying at 70+ freeway speeds for long stretches with the wife on board. So I called up Jamie and got the "quiet" performance baffle (right side only) to install. Awsome, deeper tone, still barks on acceleration and purrs at highway speeds. Want to let someone know you are there, just slightly roll the throttle.
Very happy and probably won't put the other back in. Best thing was I did not need to change my PCIII map with the slight baffle change.
Can't beat the cost vs performance/quality of Fuel Moto. Supertrapps good, sound just slightly more tinny but cost much more.
And of the 4 times I have called Fuel moto I get the main man to talk to everytime for help. Where do you get that nowadays?????

Here's an option developed by the guy (my uncle) that designed the SPO slip-on for S&S, and which V&H has a similar shape of for their ovals...that's my RG he used for the pictures. I'm running the prototype set and had them dynoed last year. Results indicated 5% more hp and torque (slip-ons only, no other mods), a smoother curve, and a fatter mixture ratio than stock. They sound awesome and you can feel the deep tone in your chest at idle. Just a thought..

Monster Ovals
I went with the Monster Ovals also. They are a bit big but I love the sound. It's the throaty sound a but doesn't seem to bug the neighbors with I "sneak" out of the neighborhood in the AM. I did go witht he chrome tips, but the black tips look pretty cool also on my black Ultra

I have screaming eagle slip-ons and have a nice tone to them and have descent performance but not to loud when cruising unless you really crack it open. Actually I don't think they are any louder than stock going down the highway or cruising until you hit the throttle. Then you can finally hear them.

All I did was change my stock mufflers with a set of SE. Warranty not void and very nice sound improvement. I didn't want loud, done than and am done with that. Too each their own. I like to hear a nice loud Harley but dont want to drive one. The SE street Performance are just right for me, and a big improvement over stock.
