Default Jackpot or Rush slip ons

Looking for some slip ons for my 2009 Road King. I like the sound & look of both of these. Price is reasonable. Just some opinions. Don't really need to do a remap or download and my understanding is that I would have to stick to a 1.75" baffle for that.

Thanks,
Keith

As long as your air cleaner is untouched the baffle size is not an issue as far as a remap dont let anyone tell you any diff. Ive got the Jackpots (3.5) without the cat and I wouldn't want em any louder. I know a guy that has the Rush on his SG and Ive always liked the way his sounded but he has the catalyst in his header. If you still have the cat they both will sound good. Quality on both is real good also.

Thanks TUCCI. Yep...stock a/c and the 09 does not have a cat. So I shouldn't need a remap if I go with the 4" Jackpots?

I also have the Fuel Moto 3.5" Dyno Tuned Jackpots and a Cobra head pipe with no cat. I really like mine. Not too loud, performs well and sounds like a Harley should.

Sound is very subjective...what sounds good from the saddle
could sound like $hit from the side lines.

Hang out at your favorite biker joint, listen to them and ask questions.

I'm kinda partial to my Rush Big Louie's...

Thanks, I've actually heard both on bikes like mine. I was just curious if y'all were running them or had experience with them. I thought they offer a lot a value and have heard nothing but good things quality wise.

I have used Rush slip ons on my last 3 Harleys, all with good fit and finish. I have gone from 2.25" to 2.0" and now the 1.75" The rep from Rush(Ryan) stays in touch with riders on this forum and has helped me with after sale questions and 1 issue on baffle wrap. Rush and Fuel Moto are both forum sponsors and offer good products. If you go with Rush, the 2.0" baffle offers the best HP/torgue gains., but too loud for my taste.

love my FM 4" slash downs, not too loud when cruising but bark when you get on it. what sounds good to one person doesn't sound good to the next. both good products. the guys at FM are outstanding as far as customer service goes.
