I installed Rinehart true duals today with the 3.5 mufflers along with thundermax auto tune and Arlen Ness big sucker on my 2011 SG with the 103 upgrade. Install went pretty easy took me about 3 hours from start to finish all by myself. Had a few questions though
First... I was expecting the Rineharts to be a little louder, will they get louder with time I have heard other bikes with them and they seem pretty loud, much louder than mine.
Second... wanted to know if anyone with my similar set-up is running a Thundermax, I was unsure which map to use there were a couple to choose from map number 113 and 79 I went with 113 wanted to know if anyone with knowledge could help and and let me know if that was the best one or should I go with a different map.
I don't know anything about the thundermax but on my bike (07 Road King with a 103) the rinehart's sounded pretty good with a download map but when I had it tuned and the tech went a bit leaner (he said that the mix was too rich in the low range so he leaned it out a little) mix in the PCV and the bike got quite a bit louder and barks more when I get on it. I also have a big sucker and .510 cams in my bike.
The Rinehart baffles are a solid steel core, I don't see how they will get louder over time, I've had mine on for five years and they are the same (I'm pretty sure). If you want louder, you have to change the baffle or as others have said modify the engine, every little change will make it sound different. But not just because of miles like on some of the other brands/models that are packed with insulation.
I just put the Classic Duals with the 4" mufflers on my 11 Limited. They are a lot louder than the old style with the 3.5" mufflers I had on my 07 EG Classic. If they werent so expensive I would change to something else in a heartbeat.
