Default rc components excalibur vs. rinehart 4"

I was pretty sold on getting a set of Rinehart 4" slip-ons for my 2012 FLHTP but I just discovered RC Components Excalibur slip-ons. I like the looks of the RC's better and was wondering if anyone has heard them in comparison to Rinehart 4" mufflers?

Thanks.

I have the excalibur on my Limited. I like them, and many people have told me they like the look and sound of the pipes. Deep, melow sound, not too loud, rineharts are a little louder. As soon as I change the head pipes out and get rid of the cat, they will probably sound about the same.

I've had both...very similar in sound. They both use a 2-1/4" spiral baffle. RC's are better quality IMHO. the baffle is secured directly to the muffler body as apposed to RH''s being mounted into the end cap.

I have a set on my 12 Street Glide. I really like the way they sound and look.

I get boo koo compliments on my Excalibur's. Do not think they are much different sound wise from Rinehart but I am never anywhere except in front of my pipes.

I have "herd" them both and I would have to agree with iride1, the rineharts are a little louder. The RC Comp ones sounded great and looked good too!

Thanks guys. After hearing all the positive feedback and since the RC's are far less expensive, I believe I may have to order a set.

Do yourself a favor and search on ebay. I have bought a lot of stuff from Eastern Performance. They retail for 5 bones but I got them from EP for $379.00 TTD.
