Default SE CVO muffler question

I have an '08 SG that is pretty much bone stock. Will a set of SE CVO mufflers ('97-'09) fit my bike? How much difference in sound (volume/deepness) is there from stock to these?

I have a set on my 06 Road King They are very quiet mufflers.Sound is pretty close to the stockers maybe a little deeper but they do let her breath easier. The stockers made the bike sound like an air compressor.

Yep, that is exactly what it sounds like. So, is $225 a good price for a pair in great condition?

I just bought a set of "new takeoff's" for $250. They are somewhere between stock and SE for sound. Workes for me.

medic:

Picked up a set of '09 CVO SERG slip-ons, removed the stock baffles, and installed FullSac's 1.75 replacement baffles.

Definitely has that "quiet power" sound with nice throaty rumble. But will bark if you twist the wick!

Lot's of discussion at the CVO Forum, and FullSac's website has a sound bite.

Highly recommend you look for a set from an '09 SERG (straight tip) or the '09 SEUC (tapered tip). Removing the stock baffles is a piece of cake with a good dremel and a lot of patience.

Yes they will. Note the muffs on my bike in my sig!

I also re-baffled them with a set of Full Sac Performance 2" baffles. Sounds Awesome!

What he said, stock mufflers should be easy to find for very little cash.
