Looking for a bad a$$ sounding slip-on muffler. I have V&H 4'' Twin Slash Rounds on my EGC, but looking for something with more bark. I'd like to get a slip-on that sounds similar to a V&H Pro Pipe (leaving the cat. converter in place) without going through the expense of the air cleaner, tuner, exhaust system and dyno. Is that even possible?

Your thoughts on loud slip-ons, please. Thanks

 

the cat is chewing up much of the sound.

that is why many of the "compliant" 2010 + slip ons are not legal for 2009 and earlier bikes.

the cat is your enemy.


If you open up the exhaust ( remove the cat or change the header pipes) but leave the stock air cleaner in place then you would not have to worry about tuning------- but------

if you also get a hi flow air cleaner you will get 7 to 10 horsepower AND the tuning does affect the tone of the exhaust.

I use the ness big sucker air cleaner- $120 ( ebay: easternpc)

and nightrider.com XIEDS will cost under $130 ( Steve has been running deals lately and offers Mil. discount)

It doesn't have to cost $2000 for a stage 1 ... that's for the guys who drop their bike at the dealer and open the wallet and close their eyes.

Freedom Performance 4 inch slash ups on my '10 RK,badass bark and a mean,low growl out on the open road.Should mention,this is a stage ll 103 with all the stuff,tuner,cams,air cleaner.

 

The baddest slip ons out there. CFR!!!!!!!

 

Take the cat out of your current setup and it will be like you got a whole diff set of pipes. Cut a panel open on the side like this and carve that honeycomb mess right out of there:

 

If you like the sound of the v&h pro pipe ( had the pro pipe H/O on my deuce ) your gonna love cfr's. I'm running them on my 12 flhx with the cat and they sound bad *** like the pro pipe,just deeper.

 

I have a set of fluted cfr's for sale in the touring for sale section

they are badass, they have a deep big block sound
