I wanted my Rineharts a little louder as well. I was hoping I would get the sound I was after once my FullSac headpipe showed up, but that was not the case. I ended up removing the Rinehart baffles and bought a set of Big City Thunder QQ baffles. The sound is perfect now and my ears aren't bleeding after riding all day.

Just adding the slip-ons, they won't be that much louder than the factory exhaust.
You need to either install a full exhaust system, or at least remove the Catalytic Converter in the factory head pipe if you want louder.
I have the 4" Rineharts on my SG, and like the sound.

"Not much louder than stock", I hope I'm not disappointed as I just ordered a set yesterday for on 08 RK in stock form. Not looking for super loud but wanted it to sound like a harley and let people know I'm around.

If not, then they will be louder on your bike.
My '11 still has the factory cat in place, so that is why I stated "not much louder than stock".
I have heard these exact same pipes on new 2011 bikes without the cat, and they are much louder.
Big City Thunder
I put Big City Thunder baffles in my Screamin Eagle slip ons because I wanted more sound. These things are awesome. Beside the sound which is above slip-ons but less than headers the folks, Gail and Jim are awesome people to work with. I recently had a little issue pop up and they were happy to assist and available. I have not had to turn an adjustment anywhere on my bike. These things rock.

Does your '08 have a catalytic converter?

Unless your bike was originally sold for California, it does not have a cat

That would be great news for me. The bike was sold in MO originally and then driven out to East Coast.
