Default EVO 1340 Electra Glide MUfflers

My Eglide has the stock st up all the way back to the mufflers. I am the second owner. The original owner switched to a set of aftermarket slip ons. They sound ok and perform alright but I need some advice. Now comming from my softail which was the same engine essentialy I had some nice dragb pipes on it and it was mighty loud. But now its different I cant tell for sure what it sounds like when I ride , in great part I suppose because the pipes are expelling the exhaust and noise behind the bike which is suffice it to say much further behind me than my softail was. Regardless I still think it could be louder.

Heres my question , since I can see theres some kind of permanant baffle in the current slip ons, I wanna switch to a different set of slip ons that will give me maximum loudness an tone. I don think a full open set of pipes are a good idea......I dont wanna kill performance all together. But I would like it to be considerably louder.

Given the fact that it is stock back to the mufflers on an EVO....what set of after market slip ons will give me the loudest sound and not kill my top end and mid range?

a more open pipe will enhance the high rpm performance


you should be thinking about the low end as you now have 2 or 300 more pounds to move off the line- you need to retain or enhance torque below 3000 rpm

I use supertrapps, they are tunable.

you want to experience loud, get a turn down, that way the sound is reflected back at you rather than just out the back and gone.
