My first ever set of aftermarket pipes on an HD bike was on my 2010 RKC. I bought a pair of 3.5" Rinehart slip-ons. I did just the slip-ons, they didn't sound great because the cat in the head pipe still had the airflow choked up, I did not do a tuner, or A/C, or new header, just the slip-ons and in less than 400 miles the right side muffler turned yellow/gold color right smack in the middle.
So yes it can happen. I had (3) other people I knew who did the same thing with just the slip-ons and same thing happened, and I had a set of another brand of pipes that the same thing happened to on my 2011 Ultra and after that no pipes for me unless I do a full stage 1 (tuner, pipes, header, A/C)
Trying to save money just ended up costing me more in the end because I had to buy slip-ons twice.

I also have the 4" Rineharts. I spoke to Rinehart before getting them and they will not warranty the mufflers on a '10 or newer if you get the 3.5" because they will discolor. Also they told me the internals are the same for both. Check out there web page about ordering info and you'll see the 3.5" are only up to '09. (and yes they sound good)

Man....I actually took mine off now. Contemplating going back to the stock pipes. There seems to be some confusion about this.
Bike is in the garage right now w no pipes on it
. Maybe I'll call the dealer and see what they have to say.
All I wanted was my bike to not sound like an electric bike or a Honda Gold Wing.
I appreciate all of your help and answers guys. I'm very fond of this forum.

After speaking with the GM (friend) at the dealer I think I'm going Togo with the original setup of stock everything w Rinehart slip ons for now.
I think it will be a safe setup.

I have a 08 SG. I used the full Rinehart true duals with 4" slipns with Ness Big Sucker and Power commander. Sound is great, not too loud or too quite. Has enough for people to know I am there but not draw attention from my local police. Still getting almost 45 mpg as well. Was probably the best purchase yet!!!!
