I regret getting my V&H twin slash slipons. I purchased the bike and these at the same time. I rushed into the exhaust without recalling seeing what else is out there. They look nice, just not the deep rumble I was looking for.

Screamin' Eagles for me, but I remodded the baffles and made them great - plus more torque. Never say die, baby! (didn't just drill them out either - that would make them worse.)

Replaced the baffles on my Screaming Eagles with Cycle Shack baffles and replaced the fiberglass with thick silica fabric sheeting. Great sound and I do believe that I have better torque. Very happy with this mod...

WO 12.5's lasted about a month before I realized I should've gone 14". Luckily the cables/wires/lines I had for the 12.5's worked with the 14"ers. Every now and then I think I could've gone 16" but then I'd need to change out all the lines/cables etc. I'm happy with them.

*phew* just bought my first touring bagger it's a 2013 Road Glide and after reading this thread... wow you guys saved me bacon! I'm not doing much if anything to it... but it does need a better sound system and probably leaning towards J&M Audio... anybody have anything bad to say about the 500 watt J&M Amp and speakers? I'm not doing 8 speakers I just want to pump up the 4 positions with better 7 1/4" J&M speakers.
