Default Rinehart question

I just bought a 2011 street glide, the bike has rinehart slip ons and heavy intake. Was tuned and dyno by Harley. I want to make the bike louder, my questions are, is there a baffle I can swap to that will be louder? How hard is it to change? And do I have to retune? Thanks.

The Rineharts should be just fine and give you plenty of sound. Is the stock header still on the bike? If so that is your problem. Swap it out for a catless header (tons of options) and that should give you all the sound you want. Oh don't forget another tune is needed after ridding yourself of the CAT.

Yeah that's what I figured. Not gonna spend all that money for the retune now. Thanks.

I put 4'' Rhineharts on my ultra they were all right. I then removed the head pipe and did cams now it sounds great.

Kind of in the same boat on mine. I bought a ''07 glide that has a set of V&H twin slash it would seem. It is set up for true duals but I find myself craving a louder and deeper sound when I hit the gas. Bike week is going on now around here so I may take it into V&H tent and see what they can do to make it louder.
Unfortunately I am still learning about bikes and don't trust myself mechanically to do it right so rather have the right people look at it.

How do I know if the head pipes are stock? I see they have the sensors plugged in, but I see that some rinehart systems have that as well.

Don't look at the Rineharts, look at the head pipes... Many don't have the same aesthetic as the stock headers. Post a pic of the rights side of the bike here many will know instantly whether or not the headers are stock.
