I was looking at those, they advertise only 3db above stock.
The supertrapp website says they are the old SE pipes they made for Harley. The one thing preventing me from pulling the trigger is that I am afraid they are the same cans I have but newer. I am worried they will be the same sound with the duals and cam. Does anyone know if they would be the same muffler?

I have the HD 98B's on my RK, and my best bud just put the SuperTrapp SE's on his '06 Road Glide with the same 88" stage 1 set-up as my bike. They sound vertially identical. Nice deep rumble that mellows at cruising speed. Great sounding muffs!
Also, don't let that 3db thing fool you. db's go up exponentially or something, so 3db is noticably louder than stock.

Pumba is exactly correct about the SE's and their changes...
I don't think you can find a part # on the actual pipe itself (I could be wrong), to figure out if you have a 98B style, most go by the sound, but If you purchased them before summer of '06, you can pretty much bet they are indeed the older/louder version (like the current Supertrapp SE's). After that date they probably are the newer/quiet version..

Ok, that rules out the supertrapp SEs. These pipes were on the bike when I bought it in '03, so that's what they probably are.
thanks.

I found Rush to be Loud but that was on a Heritage, little different set up perhaps someone else can help you there..
