Default Another exhaust thread...

Hey guys. As you can see I'm a newbie. Joined in '06 but figured I wouldn't ask stupid questions but rather gain knowledge and ask when ready. So here it goes. My first post in 5 years...

I have an '05 Road King Police with a 95" kit and all the bells and whistles. I have Vance and Hines True Duals on it that currently has fishtail slip-ons. Love the classic look of the tail but I'm looking for a bit more. I don't want to get flamed but I want it as loud and deep as possible. A buddy of mine has the CFR knockoffs and I love the sound. Just can't do the same pipe because we ride together all the time and he has almost the same bike. Are there any options out there for that sound? Louder and deeper than anything? Performance isn't a problem. I know plenty of people to sort that out. Just looking for something like the CFR but different in it's own way.

Thanks

How about get the real CFR's. That should one up your friend. If that isn't an option,try the V&H Hi Output slip ons. I ran those for a while and they sounded great. Too bad they are made for large displacement motors,because I love the sound,but lost a ton of tq.

if you like your Pal's pipes, get them

The sound of 2 bikes with same set up riding together is quite huge.

other than that the options are almost endless

I've heard the Rinehart 4" & the V&H Hi Outputs , the V & H have more of the sound you are describing

If your fishtails have removable end caps take them off and replace them with something round - it will definitely change the sound. Fishies usually give the pipes a bit if the old HD crackle (I like) while round end caps will mellow that crackle out.
