I also have twin slashes with catless true duals and seac and sert and love them. Deep and low growl that is awesome. I have had rush slip ons in the past on street glides and road king classics and think the vance and hines are more pricey but definitly worth the money. Plus the twin slashes are guaranteed to not blue or discolor due to the design of two layers.

I like the look of the V&H Monsters, but again too mellow sounding for me. So there you have it, I want large diameter pipes, louder than V&H Monsters, but not drag pipe loud (obnoxious police attention getters) Are there better choices than Rinehart 4" pipes? Sound off please....

I just went from Jackpots to the 4" Rineharts and I'm REAL happy with the performance and sound. (On my 09 I actually started out V&H Monster and got rid of them after 2 weeks....didn't like the sound....I went to Jackpots and had them on for 10K..... also have a PCV and SE air cleaner, there is no cat in my headpipe.) I don't feel that they're (the 4" Rineharts) too loud at all. ( altough we know it is subjective :-) IMHO, they ARE louder and much deeper sounding than the Jackpots. For me it's just what I was looking for. I got a map from FM and also one form a guy from Dynojet off another forum. I ended up using the one from Dynojet. Good mpg's and better power. I, like you wanted to get it right also....I've been running them for a couple of weeks now and I'm pleased. Nice looking & good quality. If you do decide to go with them, I'll be happy to share the map, just PM me.

D&D Boss fat cat 2 into 1 standard baffle, quiet baffle if you are not going to do any performance upgrades

You won't be disappointed. If you have a pcv, just let me know if you need a map.

4 inch Rineharts are kinda noisy. Don't give up on the Monster Ovals, mine seemed too quiet at first, but after a couple thousand miles they are breaking in and sounding much better. I like the low rumble they have. Sill too quiet for some though. JMO.
