I have Rinehart TD's and love em, but if I had 2 other choices, they'd be the Rinehart 2 into 1 for performance, or the Sampson TD with fishtail tips to go with the retro look of my bike.
I really like the sound of the monster ovals a lot. I like the way the look also. I think they probably sound a bit better than the Jackpots I have on my Ultra, but the Jackpots seem less loud which is good for my wife. I will say, however, the Rineharts I have on my RKC are the CHIT!!! Still have the stock headers. Not too loud, not too quiet. Nice and low and throaty. I got them from Fuel Moto in one of their power packages.
So what's the best exhaust you've heard that you don't currently own? (I'm trying to eliminate the inherent bias associated with defending whatcha already got--I know, I'll end up with a second-best solution.)
I am a BIG FAN of the Rinehart True Duals. I had them on my 05...but they are not available yet for the 09's....but Rinehart says...soon, very soon. I got the dealer to put some SE slipons, that came off of a CVO (for free). They are about the same as my Stock mufflers.
CFR's sound incredible, kinda leery about slipons with NO baffles though. let me know how they effect the low end torque
I have CFR's on my 08 SG I love the look and the sound .A year ago had my bike dyna tuned and the mechanic said it's hard to tune for performence because the CFR's don't have enough back pressure . I have since talked to a dealer who says if you use CFR's baffels and there fuel system you can tune them for performence. This winter I am going to have my heads done and at that time I will look into the baffels and have it retuned for better performence.
They have baffles. They're not in the center of the muffler, they line the walls of the muffler.
according to hotrodsbikeworks.com, they are a no-baffle setup for $599:
CFR Motorcycles CFR Motorcycles delivers the sound and appearance your Harley-Davidson bagger deserves. CFR's black and chrome-plated slip-on mufflers mount directly to your stock header pipes, and their no-baffle setup packs a vicious combination. The first blow comes from the aggressive can styling, while the knockout delivery comes straight from the muffler's mouth. The rumbling, deep exhaust note is surely a victorious growl not to be mistaken while cruising the streets. The CFR slip-on mufflers are compatible with '95-'07 H-D FL models and are available factory direct with a $599.95 price tag.
hotrodsbikeworks.com is wrong or maybe when they wrote the article (looks like it was in 2007), the CFRs didn't have baffles, I don't know.
What I do know is that there are baffles in MY CFRs and in all the CFRs I've seen. Again, they are not traditional baffles, they are integrated baffles lining the inside of the mufflers.
The CFR slip-ons for HD touring bikes are priced $605, That's the most current price, check www.bikersimage.com or www.cfrmotorcycles.com/
