I paid for the staggered screaming eagle slip ons to make my hondadavidson 12 wg sound louder put them on because of the epa laws they were still to quiet. I then got pissed took the stock mufflers beat the baffles out took 1 hit on each one reinstalled the stock pipes. Well now it sounds like a HD like is supposed to I gained 2 hp and 3 TQ on the dyno my a/f mixture was perfect. as long as I didn't change the a/c or head pipes to the cat I had no need to tune. So my opinion is as long as you don't change a/c and or headpipe no tuning needed. But what do I know im just a certified HD tech that hates the sound of our newer bikes lol...LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES!!!!!!!!!


MY screaming eagle staggered duals were only on for 300 miles I couldn't deal with hearing me shift over my pipes so they are now up for sale if anyone interested pm me.

I have a stage one ac and download.... If I just removed the baffles from the Rush slip on's would I be good to go? Or would I need it tuned further?

I cut mine out but left the CAT in...still wasn't the sound I was looking for. So I'm in the process of changing out the whole system. It did sound better though.

Hey. I removed the baffle from my 09 SG muffler on the left side, the right side I gave up on for now, what a rigamaroll!! The bike actually sounds great and seems to be running fine. I do have a stage 1 air cleaner and did remove SE mufflers without baffles before installing these. Any thoughts? Thanks guys, newbie to the site.

Default One baffle removed.

I removed one baffle on the left side if my 09 SG mufflers, right side I gave up on for now. These are mounted on my 06 SG EFI with the stage 1 air cleaner. Originally had SE mufflers without baffles, thought I'd try something new. Bike sounds great and seems to be running fine, any thoughts in removing the other baffle? Don't necessarily need more noise as long as I'm not damaging anything the way it is. Any thoughts? Thanks!
