Slip On's
Looking at new slips on all the differant sites is like looking at shoes, clothes, or any other accessory. So many freaking brands, styles, sizes, with or without baffles, what's a simple man to do. Been spending a lot of time on the American Custom site. Price looks good, not sure you get the actual sound from from computer speakers. Anyone have good/bad/indifferant feedback?
Thanks

I went with Vance and Hines 4" slip-ons at $375. They have a good low tone once they are on for a few miles to burn out the insulation. Loud enough to sound good, but quiet enough not to drown out the stereo.

V&H, and Rhinehart have the most positive ratings on the big sites. HDRoadking is helping me lean towards the AC Bombers.

I like the V&H and RH too, but I just couldn't see dumping that much cash right now so that's why I took a chance on AC. They have a 30 day guarantee so I had nothing to loose and I'm pretty impressed with them and they sound great to me. Nice deep rumble and plenty loud even though I'm still running the CAT. I'm not running any baffles in mine, but if I wanted to they have 3 sets to choose from and only take about 2 minutes to change them.

Me Too
I also put the bombers (slash down) with the black end caps on my Road King. At first I rode the bike without the baffles. VERY deep throaty sound but could get obnoxious if I got on it. The wife also developed ringing ears after an extended ride. I put in the mid range baffles and while it's not a LOUD bike anymore (won't set off car alarms or wake the neighbors) it's loud enoungh. I also needed to use the Vance & Hines fuelpak with the mufflers because the bike developed excessive decel popping.
