Default Mufflers/Pipes

I am looking for a new streetglide and hoping to find one with pipes and stage 1 kit already done to it, but if I don't what will all it all take to get new mufflers on it to make it sound better than stock. My 06 RoadKing Classic that i am trying to sell had rush mufflers on it when i bought it and nothing done to the motor. They looked great yet after 32,000 miles. Than I see some mufflers where they are blueing at a few thousand. I am wondering if there is a muffler out there to where you dont have to do anything to the air cleaner or the motor and still have it sound better than stock. Thanks

thanks for the reply guys. I should really just use my slip ons i have for my new bike, but i want to get more value out of my bike selling it with them on. Just reading some posts it looks like just slip ons should be ok with the bike without doing any tuning or an air filter

You probably could sell it for just as much with the stock mufflers if you still have them. Aftermarket parts don't affect the value of the bike to others, only to you.
