Iclick, that looks sweet. Talked to Keith at Fuel Moto (nice guy). I'm sold. Ordering the slash down cut with the standard baffle along with a PCV. Those tips are way pricey though. Might add those later.
Performance: They guarantee them to be the best-performing slip-on available and based on charts I've seen I believe it. The asymmetrical design with different baffling in each muffler makes a noticeable difference, a design that was created from much dyno testing.
Looks: Subjective, but IMO they have a high-quality look, especially with the optional tips.
Sound: Nice, deep, throaty without being too loud. Different baffle options are available to reduce or increase the DB level to your taste. There's a hint of a 2-into-1 tone to them since the left side is more restricted, forcing most exhaust to the right. Most people like the sound.
BTW, the old-style Jackpots had two types available, classic and dyno-tuned. The classics had standard symmetrical baffles while the dyno-tuned variety are as described above. The new-style Jackpots come only in the Dyno-Tuned configuration, I think, and although the left baffle is not changeable the right can be configured for four levels of sound volume. The standard baffle comes with the mufflers with quiet (two levels) and competition baffles available optionally.

Picked up a 2010 street glide today
Rode it home 170ish miles and took it around town for a ride when I got home. 2 things need to change soon! Need lowers with the wicked wind we get here in SD and exhaust! My wife's C50 sounds meaner cruising than the SG.
Thankfully I called Fuelmoto Monday and i'll have the mufflers, PCV and intake tomorrow. Ordered the 2into1 headpipe too but that is 3 weeks out. AWESOME service. I'll update tomorrow night when I get it installed. Can't wait!

Thank you all for your feedback and support on our Jackpot products. To answer a couple of questions: The slash up, slash down and straight all sound the same and dB test alike. As far as our end caps I agree they are very expensive, the process of manufactuiring these is very painstaking as they are actually eliptical to fit into the specific degree of the slash cut on our muffler and is pretty different than other "billet" end caps on the market. Each of our end caps starts out as a 5 lb block of virgin 6061 Billet aluminum and is then 5 axis CNC machined. It is then finished and either show polished by hand or it gets the black HTC military spec ceramic coating which is the best on the planet. The end result is a stunning end cap that weighs only 6 oz.

Had the bike all torn down ready for the UPS delivery. Had the pipes and computer installed in 10 minutes or so. Once I figured out how to cram the connector in front of the battery!
Intake was a little tricky trying to get the backing plate for the old air cleaner off. Couldn't find a damn 3/16 allen wrench to save my ***!?!
Absolutely love the sound. DEEP rumble. I wouldn't classify them as obnoxious loud at all. Gonna have to back the bike out of the garage in the morning to go to work before starting though. Wife works nighs, and they'll rumble the wall a bit
Did have some pinging when I blip'ed the throttle. Started thinking about it and remembered I filled up with regular unleaded yesterday! oops.. Siphoned it out with some extra hose I had for brewing beer and put it in my truck. Premium unleaded and it runs like a top now.
Can't wait for the headpipe to come in. Betting that really helps it breathe like it should.
2 thumbs up FuelMoto!

Any idea what changed on the dyno tuned slip-ons in Septemeber of 2009 ? Looking at some used dyno tuned ones that were made early 2009 .....

I have a question about the Jackpots. Can anyone tell me how they compare in sound and volume to the V & H basic slip-ons? The plan is to purchase the FM power pack, less the head pipe in a month or 2 (as funds permit) and I don't know anybody in my area who has them so I can give 'em a listen. I'm sure they're as good, if not better sounding, based on all the positive feed back, but was hoping for some kind of comparison.
