Hey, those sound great Carltex....those are the 4" ones, right? I thought the Supertrapps sounded decent until I heard the Jackpots. Makes me think I'll be making the right choice going for the 4", which should sound even better (to me) with competition baffles.

No, actually they are just the Jackpot Dyno Tuned mufflers. I imagine the 4" ones sound even better. With limited funds and other things I want to get, besides these were on sale before 12/31 for $260. Pretty good deal.
I've been extremely happy with my Jackpots as part of a power package from Fuelmoto. My setup is the 2 -1 -2 head pipe, JP dyno tune muffs (slash up) with standard baffles, stage 1 air intake and Thundermax ECM with auto tune on my 2010 FLHX.
Pros:
Great sound (IMO) with a nice deep tone at cruise and a "take notice" bark when hard in the throttle. I constantly receive compliments on the sound from fellow riders.
Excellent fit and finish.
Substantial improvement in low end torque. Important to me on a heavy bike which was what I was after with my stage I.
Exceptional customer service. Emailed FM on a Sat. afternoon during install with a question on the headpipe fit with the standard HD exhaust port tapered gasket. Received an immediate response that completely answered my question. Subsquently I've had some questions when dialing in the tune and have always received exceptional advice that is right on.
Great value. The best bang for the buck that I've ever experienced.
Cons:
After 8k miles, NONE that I've found.
I've had a lot of the other brands on other bikes over the years, V&H, Rush, Rineharts, Samson, etc. and they are all good without question. But FM and Jackpots have raised the bar to a whole new level. Plus, when I'm ready to move to stage II and beyond, I know I have the resource and backup with FM that I need.

I join in thanking carltex for posting sound files . I am considering the options and so far like the F/M power package. Just want more sound videos to help me make up my mind . The comparison was a good idea and tells a lot of the story. One sound clip is worth hundreds of words LOL
