I've been running CFR's for years. They're my all time favorite slipon. While many consider them to be loud, to me they are just deap and throaty as hell. They can get quite loud when you're really in the throttle, but aren't obnoxious at idle. On the newer touring bikes you really need to remove the CAT to make them come alive. IMHO nothing sounds better.

So your not planning on any extended runs then, may want to think that thru some more.....going loud should be easy.....the Rineharts should be loud enough especially if you have the cat removed or just about everything out there. If you decide to take an extended run in a pack you may want to get to the back or you'll hear about it especially if you take the Mrs with you.

Cary Fass Racing Slip-ons
They sell knock offs for around $200. There is a guy selling his knock offs in the parts section right now. Here is the link: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...-mufflers.html

I don't know about the performance, but I know that the quality of the knockoffs don't compare to the real thing. I saw a couple of the knockoffs at Cary's shop a couple months ago and they look like junk compared to real CFR's. Considering the amount of engineering that Cary has put into these mufflers I doubt any fake one will perform as well. You get what you pay for...

Good call. Another reason to buy the real deal is that Cary stands behind his products 100%. I had an orginal set of his slipons. Had them for almost 5 years and on 4 different bikes. I noticed a problem with them putting them on my new RK. I emailed Cary a picture of the problem...and to make a long story short, I now have a brand new set of slipons and didn't have to pay a dime. He's a stand up guy that really cares about customer service.

Head pipe
CFR mufflers
and if you have a 2010 or newer you will need to change your headpipe or grind out your stock headpipe to get rid of the Catalytic converter.
It's a little restictive:
Fullsac headers will use your stock exhaust shields
exchange yours: http://www.fullsac.com/sportpipe.html
their header: http://www.fullsac.com/x-pipe.html

I'd replace that with aftermarket in a heart beat.
