Default RE: Slip-on's?

Man, I thought I was THE ONLY ONE on the planet who had 2.5" Rush baffles / slipons on their scoot till I read this thread!!!

Nice to see there are many others too. I think they sound GREAT - haven't heard anything better yet for my taste.

I did have a discoloring problem (turned gold on the right side) but Rush sent me a whole new set for FREE!!!

In the meantime, I found a better solution than replacing them, just put on the HD heat deflecting covers - looks like new

1 year old:

Heat deflector covers for SE slip-ons 65829-00 (works on Rush 15301's too): Name:  exhaustshield65829-00.jpg

Current look (gold pipe is underneath): Name:  sliponcover.jpg

Thought I'd share this with you Rush fans.

Anybody looking for a set of Rush 15301/2.5" baffles - factory sealed box!!! (email me if interested)

And this Kuryakyn insert helps upstream too to hide all discoloration: Name:  exhaustshorty.jpg

More muffler music without being too loud? Look into SuperTrapp internally baffled slip-ons. Nice mellow note and way better than that woof-i-da, woof-i-da from the stock pipes.

Nice video. The V&H ovals have a nice sound under load. It was hard to tell, but they did'nt seem to have a very deep rumble.
ORIGINAL: dionne51

I was in your exact situation about a month ago and recently posted a video of my bike with V&H slip-ons for those who wish to hear what they sound like. Check out the 'videos' section of the forum for the link to the video. Hopefully it will help your decision making. Perhaps some other members can post similar videos of their own setups.

That's the lower frequency limit of my video camera, there is plenty of low rumble to these pipes.

I love the wild pigs I have on my V and H true duals. I bet they are also great with the stock headpipes.
