RCX exhaust
Anyone else running these slippons?
http://rccomponents.com/rcxhaust/products/slip-ons.htm
I see some peeps running their wheels, but curious about their mufflers.
I had been posting in the CFR threads, but, these are what I actually have, DOH..........
I looked at the SE offerings, and the 3 1/2 Rheinharts, but these won me over based on the fact I didn't have to buy $150 end caps on top of the $350 pipes, and they had them on hand.
I got to listen to a new SG at the dealer with them installed, and they sounded like what I was after.
These were $529 (minus 12%) so they won me over. I got the Gatlin Eclipse, which are a 4" wide open pipe.
After 1K I like them, not obnoxious, but get on it and they do come to life.
I will see next spring what they are like to tune when the 222 cams go in, but until then with the PV running Dyno jets "modified stock" tune, stock ac, the bike runs beautifully, and sounds like it should have out of the wrapper.

I got the same ones...the 4" Gatlin Eclipse and love them on my '13 Ultra Classic. Had the V&H Twin Slash on the FLHTP I traded in and like the RCX much better. More aggressive sound (but not obnoxious) and look a lot better with the black/silver tips.

I have a set of the 4" Blitz with the black end caps. They sounded awesome and also cooled the right side of the bike down for my wife at her right side foot board.
They also showed a marked improvement in performance before the stage one download. I was quite surprised at the throttle improvement with just a slip on muffler change.
My wife liked them, and so did I, but after a few short rides, I was having some ear and headache problems, so I pulled them off after about 500 miles and went back to the Screaming Eagles.
I'll snap a few pictures and will post them later tonight and put them up for sale in the Touring For Sale section as soon as I get a chance.

One of the service guys was out on the floor when I heard them on the SG and commented I liked em, they sounded sweet, and the wrench said "wait until you get the cat out of there", and he was right. I removed mine a few weaks back and they became a little louder, but they are really able to portrait their tone.
