Default Louder
I have a 2008 Road King that came with Rinehart Slip ons. They just aren't loud enough. What can I do to make them louder?
Thanks for the advice.

I think I saw a thread on this some time back. Do a search on google/yahoo and you'll find it. Rinehart doesn't use the baffle material. You could drill them out some, until you get the right volume, or I think rinehart makes a performance baffle. Don't know if it's more tame or what.

Remove or change out the baffle..If that is not an option drill it or get a piece of 1/2 inch rebar and a hammer

Put on true duals headers. I am going to put some in the classifieds section in a few days. My wife said the windows would shake when I pulled into the garage.

Please don't say you want them louder because that myth saves lives Gregg?

Take the baffles out...put in Thunder Torque Inserts. They will be loud AND you will have More power throughout the entire RPM band.

It is really quite amazing, especially for the price.
