I had Rush on my '08 RK, 30,000 miles, no issues with them at all, a nice deep rumble behind me while cruising, nice rap when you hit it hard. I've got Fuel Moto Jackpots on my '12 SG, but only a little over 3000 miles, so I can't tell you if they will change over time, but I wouldn't hesitate to go with with either of these, they both offer great products and back up them up with a great warranty. Oh yeah, the Jackpots sound great also, easily listen to the stereo cruising, let people know I'm there when I twist the throttle.

I have tried too many slipons than I can count. I currently have 4inch Rineharts. With regular driving or cruising,they are very mellow and deep. If you get down on it they scream,and are pretty loud. To me that is what I love about them.

If I were you , I might take Rush Racings offer for a try.
You already like the Klockwerks , so fix em how you like.
I've used different packing materials over the years and they all sound and last different on most mufflers.
I sent Klockwerks an email last year asking them if I purchased a set of super savers and they were too loud , could I do anything to quiet them down.
They replied with "try different packing" it's pretty easy to do unless you get a really badly stuck baffle.
Fair enough , I thought.
My brother and I used this material

on my old Vance and Hines Classics , great sound , didn't last long , but it was cheap and we learned something by it.
If I still had the V&H mufflers , I'd give Rush Racing packing a whirl.
Give repacking a try , you might love your mufflers again.

HD Fatshotz, not much louder than stock if any, deeper tone, free flowing and you can adjust the number of discs, which makes them louder or more quiet and moves the power band as well. Didn't know how I'd like them but both the wife and I do. The are just deep, not raspy and I have ridden 500 miles plus author having ear fatigue.

Fuel Moto Jackpots
I really like my fuel moto 4" jackpots. Nice rumble, but not annoying. But when you get on it, they sound really deep. Plus, you might check, but I think there packing has a lifetime guarantee. Chrome warranty is also very good. Great product, and great service too.

Jackpot 4" Dyno-Tuned. They look and sound great. I really like the 2:1 Fatcat tone (but not the volume), and the Jackpots sound good to my ear......Different than the Fatcat, but really good. Jamie offers a quiet baffle, and I think I may end up trying one out next year, as I'm not getting any younger and my hearing's not getting any better.
But out of every slip on I've heard, the Jackpots are the best to my ears. And you simply can't and won't beat their customer service.
