Default RE: Rienharts or Thunderheader Please Help!!!

The TH pipes are very loud. No one wants to ride behind me. My EVO is stroked and performance wise they breathe very well especially on a heavily modded engine.

I am considering changing mine to something quieter because of the many local noise ordinances. I have been warnedand the fines are steep, so I'd rather invest the "fine" money into the cost of new pipes and tuning.

I have Rienhart slip ons on my 02 Road Glide and love the sound. I have Thunderheaders on my 05 Deuce and love that sound. That being said, the Thunderheaders are much loader than the Rineharts, particulary with the Stage 2 Big Bore kit.

If you don't want to be too load (and loudness is becoming a big issue in certain communities) I would go the the Rienharts. It's a true classic Harley sound. When twisting the throttle the sound is loud and strong but quiets down when cruising.
