I feel your pain! I followed my buddy today to drop off my new to me 09 SG for Md. Inspection. I knew he had put the Monster Ovals on when he bought it and thought this would be great. Not the case. They are not loud at all, so I am searching for something louder. It doesn’t need to be obnoxious, but I want people to know I’m next to them or coming down the street, so maybe a little obnoxious is cool. The bike has a stage 1 and SERT. The bike has 1500 miles on it, but I don’t think they will get any louder. My 08 SG had Tab Performance slip-ons and they sounded great, but I haven’t found them local. I’m leaning towards Rineharts, but not sure which ones or another V&H.

Quit screwing around trying different mufflers. Just get it over with and install a Thunderheader 2 into 1. Sound, performance, and looks badazz on a SG.

The fiberglass wrap is easy to remove, two Allen bolts on bottom of each muffler slide baffles out unwrap slide back in, reinstall screws.

08 ultra with true dual monster ovals, VO2 AC and TTS. Louder and deeper than some friends with RH's on their SG and RK.

I put a pair of Cobra Tri Flo's on my 13 Ultra Limited this week and wow do they sound wicked. Very very deep loud rumble through the gears but at cruise I can hear the radio fine with just a sweet background of Harley rumble.

I have Monster rounds with dresser duals and 222 cams and like the sound alot. I replaced my V&H ovals after the cam swap beacause it was just too loud. the sound is really deep and is quieter than the ovals but definitely not too quiet. I would say drop the stock headpipe for dresser duals and it will wake up those mufflers.

that's odd, I have a set on my 2008 SG and I feel bad for my neighbors due to how loud they are. I didn't have any engine work done on my bike.
