Default What do you think?

Doing the stage 1 upgrade on my 2008 RKC, got vance and hines dresser duals, & I'm tryna figure out what slip ons I'll be going with. I was always a fan of the V&H fishtails, but how do they really sound? So has them, and what do you really think?
I'm one the guys who like loud bikes, and when you crack the throttle it barks.
Please lemme know
Thank you

I have the V&H fishtails, I have a decatted headpipe with an S&S stealth air cleaner. The pipes have a bit of rummble at idle and bark pretty good when you get on the throttle. Cruising down the interstate they aren't to loud. They are perfect for me.

To me the fishtails are a bit quiet...but they're ok. I have them on my Softail.

I've been running Rush slip-ons for years. Remove the baffle and use the W258 Thunder Torque Inserts. It is LOUD and does better on the dyno than with the baffles in.

Now if I purchase the v&h fuelpak, can I use any slip ons or does it have to be V&H ?

I'm happy with my Rush slip ons, with V&H dresser duals.
