Best touring muffler????
I have an 08 Ultra that is completely stock. I, want to change the mufflers-looking for a louder, deeper tone, but not too loud that I cant hear the radio without blasting it. (had a RK with Kerkers-loved the sound but liking listening to the new radio better-Now I know Im getting older!!)Something that cracks on throttle, but mellows out at cruising speed would be ideal. Have narrowed it down to 3-Monster Ovals, Bub 7, and Klockwerks Revolvers or WFB. Looks wise I like the Bubs and Klockwerks, but sound is more important. Would really appreciate your comments and input.
Thanks and ride safe!

I had Bub &'s on my 'o7 RK and really enjoyed them. Build quality was first rate. I am currently using Jackpot's, which I like too. The build quality is not the best but they sound great and are relatively inexpensive.

I'm not sure what the build-quality issues might be with these, as they are very well constructed. They even have an internal heat shield to reduce bluing around the input flange and bell, and I know of no other mufflers with that feature. Chrome is also excellent on the 5-6 sets I've seen.
