After researching the subject to death I decided $450-$600 was too much for a set of slipons for the King, so I went with a gamble. Bought a set of Full Boar mufflers off of the Bay from a seller that turns out to be one of the owners of the company, Jones Exhaust. Made in USA, great quality, 2 day shipping from TN to FL and - best of all I paid $199.18 shipped to my door. I was skeptical about the price, but after seeing the quality and hearing the deep rumble that Harleys should have I'm sold. I got the slash up version with 2.5" baffles. Really seems to pull better, no torque loss maybe some gain (stock header w/cat so de-catted may require more back pressure i.e.smaller baffles). They offer straight cut, slash up, slash down and 1.75/2.0/2.5" baffle options. J&P also has them in their new catalog but more $$. Seller is exhaust88 on Ebay if anyone is interested. No pics yet, but will post later.
It's unbelievable how much slip-ons are now. You're right, they all average between $400-$600 and up.
I bought a pair of V&H slip-ons 5 yrs ago for my '08 flhtc and paid a little over $200 new, they're now $450.
Just bought a '13 flhtc and they say the old ones won't fit.
Guess what they do fit and are already on it.
Just gonna use the old slip-ons on the new bike.
I'm interested to see what you think of the sound on yours.
Some pics would be nice too!
Jones has been making performance exhaust systems for automobiles for years, I think they just got into the bike stuff. They make some really good stuff and great quality... I wish I had thought about them before I spent big money on my Rineharts. I think you made a great purchase.
american customs actually does the same thing! then if you want the quiet baffle option they actually sell you your own baffle back! ive seen there product and its a joke! for 35 bucks you can remove your own baffles.
