Default Rush or Rolling Thunder Mufflers

Both are similar and come with different size baffels; would like to hear from riders who have run either or both and which one they like the best. I'm looking for a set of pipes with a little rumble above stock that won't make my ears ring after riding out on the open road or a long run.

Thanks,
Bill
Frederick, Md.

i just put on the rush with 1 3/4 baffles. love the low tones but it's been too cold for me to really try them out. i ran about 8 miles with them in the bitter cold. i was so bundled up i can't really give an opinion yet. it sounds damn good though.

I put Rolled Thunder on my 95" back in 2002 and have always been happy,, not too loud but, definitely will bark under throttle.

Rush with 2.25' baffles is the best. Not too loud that you can't hear the radio but loud enough that the cagers will know you are near. Can't go 2.50' baffles for '07s. The techs said it wouldn't allow enough back pressure.

Ride safe,

Rush with 2.5". I ride two up with the better half about 70% of the time, with no compliants from her at all. Nice deep sound, not too loud when cruising, but lound enough when needed.

RUSH with 2.5" baffles on an '05 Ultra - has that real Harley sound to it.

Hogtunes will solve any music/dB listening issues.

And to make it in stereo, go with the Fullsac true dual conversion kit!!!!!!!!!
