Default 2012 Street Glide Muffler Question

I have a 2012 Street glide 103 and I want the loudest muffler I can get. Anyone have any answers or advice. I know trading loudness for performance is the problem but I want loud. Ive tried screaming Eagles and vance and hines true duals. I use to have Matt Hotch designed hard chrome side burners on my 2007 street glide and loved them but they wont fit on my 2012 Any other suggestions?

first, remove the factory headpipe with the catalytic converter for a headpipe without. be it a 2-1, or 2-1-2, or true duals....

My CFR's are pretty loud. Before putting them on you can see straight through them and there isn't a whole lot of anything to muffle the sound at all. Will be putting a xpipe on next to get rid of the cat.

That was a bad video clip try this one. CVO 110 with the CFR's. Need to take a video of mine I guess.

Even better this has a ride along at the end of the clip with some CFR knockoffs.

Hey OP,

I guess you like meeting the OPP.

Most riders who go for loud pipes don't know what they are doing- that doesn't include you as you acknowledge the loss of power at rpms below 6000.

I guessing you had some douche come over in your lane, or one of the many dumb things drivers do. ( "I never saw the bike").

You may want to look at supertrapp super megs ( or the similar H-D nightstick/ fatshots) which by swapping end caps and discs can be as loud as you want ...or as quiet, once you get sick of meeting cops. or if you just plan all day rides, during which you want to use the stereo and avoid noise fatigue.
Adjustments are simple and take minutes with an allen wrench- or you could find some snuff r nots which do instant conversion from closed to open end cap with turn of one screw


All this is dependent on first removing the cat in your header or getting new header pipes ( the cat is a huge restriction).



The loudest bike I ever heard, was also one of the slowest- I blew past this dude on my stock '53 on a freeway onramp like he was standing still- took him about 12 miles to catch up to me and I was just piddling at 60 MPH.

I don't know if they still do this, but I've been stopped by the QPP a couple of times coming from the NB border for a pipe check

Mike
