Welcome to the forum...

I have RH's as well. Here are some options depending on how much you want to spend.

1. Remove the existing baffle. I ran my RKC with stock cams until just recently. I thought my RH's without the baffles sounded great on a stock cam. Now I'm running 255s and my RH's without the baffles sounded like crap so my baffles are back in.

2. By the Rinehart performance baffle. I think they are part # 100-0111. $89

3. Put on true duals and keep your mufflers as they are.

Bump the compression up to about 10.5/1, add a high lift cams with plenty of overlap, have the heads ported by Baisley (or the like), and dyno tune. Guaranteed to make a lot more pop come out of those mufflers.

Remove the slip-ons and install straight pipes. Just be prepared to **** off your neighbors.

My riding buddy has Reinharts with true duals and it is obnoxiously loud on his '08 SG. I hate riding behind him.

If that is what you are after, add the duals. But you might be riding in back or alone. lol

Just take the damn things off if you are intent on being loud and obnoxious. That way all you have to clean is the header head shields. Easy peasy. (PS...I'll pay the shipping and you can send those worthless *** non-loud mufflers to me)
