I've been considering those and you show them good.They look good on your bike.
I think I will like them. Wish you had a good sound file. The FM page has sound but another file couldn't hurt.

The clip on the FM site gives a great representation of what they sound like. And I am sure they have a free flowing head pipe on theirs. Sounds way better than my clip.
Teardrop: Yes I am running hi-flo with a PC-V and a custom map by Jamie at FM.
I remember the thread I responded to when you were asking about them. They look great and I think they sound better then the rineharts, especially from behind. I think they are deeper then the rineharts and just a tad more mellow at idle. I just got done 1200 miles on a trip with a bud that has RH true duals and we rode next to each other. His is a 2004 w/ 95", SE 6 speed, and andrews cam. Next to each other doing 75mph was like stereo as we where pulling the same rpms it seems.
They get a little more growly and just a tad more pronounced without the cat.
Just listened to the video. Sounds good. In all actuality I like them better with cat then without, as it mellows them somewhat and are more touring friendly. But thats IMO, and I have tinitus, so my ears are super sensitive and anything loud physically hurts. On the flip side, getting rid of the cat, gets rid of the mini kiln sitting below my right leg.
They look good Steve and do have a deep rich sound to them. Definitely sound deeper than the Bub's. How do they compare in loudness from your old Bub's?

I really hate to even comment much on the sound right now because I am running the stock head pipe with the catalyst. The sound will be completely different with a free flow header. But anyway they are louder and deeper and have much more of a growl when you get on it than the Bubs. They are deep and thumpy like Rineharts but don't have that hollow pipe sound that the Rineharts do. Which I actually like BTW.
The video/sound clip posted sounds real nice, better than most, quality wise. I sure wish someone near me had those mufflers so I could hear them in person.
I currently run an older set of V&H basic slipons with a Fuel Moto PCV and their air cleaner as well on my 09 Ultra. I'm not liking the V&H much anymore and would like something a little louder and deeper sounding. Obviously from Garemlins clip they'd be deeper sounding but it's hard to tell how they compare in volume to the V&H basics. Does anyone have any idea or guess how they would compare?
Just got my Jackpot Pro Touring mufflers installed. As usual Jamie and the FM crew are a pleasure to work with. Pipes were ordered on Tuesday and they arrived here on the right coast yesterday. Map was in my inbox the day after I ordered them. Install was a snap. They come with new support hangers even though I am not exactly sure why. All stock hardware is reused. I do think the stock bolts are a little short so I think I am gonna get a little bit longer bolts just to be sure. Look is incredible. Tapered body and one of a kind 4.5" black end caps. I wasn't sure how I would like the tapered (basically megaphone) body but I really do like it. Sound it very cool. Very low and thumpy at idle but they growl when you get on it. Took it out for a ride and my wife heard me a mile down the road. I am running the stock 2010 head pipe with the catalyst so I am sure once I remedy that the sound will be even better. Great pipes and as always a great company to work with.
