Go with the Dyno-Tuned Jackpots from Fuel Moto, then later add the PCV and AC. You will like sound and performance increase, especially after adding the other two items. Hey, just buy the Power Package (all three) and you'll get a discount. BTW, the whole caboodle from Fuel Moto is $670 and you'll pay nearly that much for Reinhart or most other high-dollar slip-ons, and the Jackpots will perform better. In fact, the DT Jackpots perform on par with a 2-into-1 system for much less money.

I'm pretty impressed with the stock 09 pipes. They aren't really loud crusing but when you get on it they wake up. I've had all the other makes before and still have a hard time changing these stock ones.

I put Supertrapp slip on's with the internal disc's. Sounded good, but, not as good as the stock exhaust. Believe it or not the stock mufflers are back on.

well i may be of no help to you here, but right now I'm running a set of Screaming eagles on my Ultra, and like the sound of them, they are pretty loud and erally make noise when you get up on them. I just sold a set of V&H Monster Ovals, now those have a deep low throaty rumble, but for my taste they were a bit on the quite side for me. As for Rinehart S/O, not sure but told they are great sounding and look great also, and I'm about to buy a set and find out.

The best advice I can tell you is, wait until you run into someone who has the sound your looking for than buy them. Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr,, you'll be like me I have installed 3 different sets, some were to loud, others to tinney, and they just didnt sound right to me. So I took the advice of a member here and waited, I ran into a bagger at a meet, with the sound I was after, he was running Cycle Shacks with stainless steel packing, so now my journey is over and I just love-em. A very deep throaty sound, and half the money I paid for others,,,, I could have saved a lot of money, if I would have just slowed down.. GOOD Luck TIm

i have rineharts on my 08 sg, and couldn't be happier. just the slip ons, along with the power commander 5, the screamin eagle air cleaner and the stage one download, and it sounds , well, it's got that "way too cool" thump that we all love. the mods also make my bike, for a basically stock 96" haul ***. great combo, and would do it exactly the same way if i ever got a new bike. i like it that much. all my riding buddies love the sound of it too, and get asked when people are at the gas station, damm, that sounds cool, what pipes? ya know, it's quite a compliment. love my rineharts.

I advise you do a search on YouTube. There are quite a few clips of Harleys with different pipes and you can hear the different pipes. Personally, I'm happy with my Wild Pig slip ons, they are great value for a very low price (off Ebay) and have a fabulous, deep, throaty sound that my neighbours have grown to appreciate.
