I am surprised that more people here don't look into one of our spongers regarding toning down their pipes. For about $ 175.00 bucks you can get your stock pipes modified and get a better sound as well as letting the engine breath. I don't work for this company nor do I have any interest in them. Check out their web site...it may be the answer to your concerns and resolve your problem.
We spend $15k-$20k on a new or used Harley and then worry about spending an extra $200-300 on a set of mufflers. Doesn't seem to add up, does it?

I've had dozens of mufflers on Harley baggers over the years. I've tried various modified stock mufflers but have never found one that I liked real well. Some weren't too bad. But if someone is looking for a nice sound that is a little louder than stock and still produces good performance the BUB Stealths are the best I've found.

$300 each. Of course, some folks do pay that kind of money but I think motorcycle mufflers are way over priced. For example; V&H Monster Ovals range in price to as high as $ 800.00. Now, how in the world could it cost that much for a set of mufflers??? Saving money is a good thing...wasting it is foolish. Love my Harley but it is one of most over priced motorcycles made and technological outdated.

Put on the BUB TD with stealth mufflers and was a little surprised at start up. It's not as quiet as I thought it would be. I think it will be fine going down the road cruising, it's just not what I figured an EPA approved set up would sound like, It has a good bit of bark when you crack the throttle. Was getting late when done with, so will put some miles on tomorrow and see. Maybe that it's a 103 with stage two cams that it is a bit louder than I expected ?

Bub has not been shipping any Stealths since about October. They are redesigning the end caps to deal with heat related problems with the chrome. Supposedly the end caps are being made with a different material that when chromed can handle more heat. They just started shipping models with black end caps and expect the chrome end cap models to start shipping in a couple more weeks. I just received my set of Stealths with black end caps a few hours ago.
