[sm=welcomesign.gif]to the forum streeter! I have the Rush with 2.25' baffles in my '07 and really enjoy the deep harley sound. I would like it to be just a little louder though and have been thinking of the VH Ovals. You might do a search of "rush" and "vance" and "ovals" and see what you come up with. Lots of posts on both these pipes.

Your going to really enjoy that 'X when you get it!

Peace,

I have a 05 Ultra with the Ovals, I loveum, at first they were a little too quiet, so I took a 1 inch bar that had a point on it and poked a hole in the baffle. It was just what i wanted. Louder but not too loud

Thanks guys, I'm leaning towards the V&H ovals, they sound real nicebut I've been hearing alot about the rush slipons. The rush sound a bit tinny on the web site but they say they have a good de..........ep rumble down low.

Thanks
soon to be 07 ST. glide

I have the 1.75 Rush's, They are loud enough for me and my radio. They sound strong, but people like the 2.0 or the 2.25 for more sound. All sounds good, it just depends on what your looking for besides you can order different baffles pretty cheap $50.00 or less. I think you will like thr Rush's alot ( they a nice selection of tips to put on). Good Luck and enjoy the X

I have the Rush slipons with 2.25" baffles. I had the 2.50" baffles, but there was too much popping on zero-throttle decel, so I switched to the 2.25". They're okay ... but too quiet in my opinion. I'm probably going to switch to Rinehart True Duals as soon as I save up some smack.

get to a local rally or HOG meeting to hear pipes on a real bike sound bites vary depending on your speakers
