Default Best sounding exhaust?

Looking to upgrade my exhaust on my 2014 street glide. I've always bought rineharts but weighing my options. What are the best sounding true duals out?

You can get some slip ons at first. they save tons of money and look really good. on most scoots you shouldn't need to upgrade the AC or get a FM system. but you should eventually. if you're going to do true duals, get the AC and the FM to manage everything. Lots out the but the Fuelpak FP3 is Bluetooth enabled and you can program it from an app on your phone. happy hunting..

On my 08 I installed S&S headers 551e cams bored to 103" flat-top SE pistons and ported the heads and larger valves with rineharts race slip-on. To loud after engine work remove the rineharts and replaced with 09 stock street-glide mufflers loud but I can hear the radio now with the tour-pak off.

I like the sound of my stock decatted and debaffled system. I think it has a pretty good sound. I would put it up against any system with the same price $0.

I have RCX exhaust on my 14 SG. It is a little loud for what I wanted but they were on the bike when I bought it. But it has a nice tone, if that makes any sense. At speed it's not loud but getting to speed it is a little louder than I wanted. Just my .02

Well said. Hit some bike events and listen to other bikes. With some patience you'll find the ones that sound best for you, without accidentally purchasing something blindly (or deafly).

4" Rinehart, CFR, and the MGS are my favorite sounding mufflers. A good aftermarket head pipe with no cat really affects the sound of the exhaust almost as much as the mufflers. I have two riding buddies that both added V&H twin slash mufflers first and then changed their head pipes. One went with the V&H power duals and the other went with the fuel moto head pipe. The power duals sound just a bit deeper and more aggressive than the bike with the fuel moto head pipe. I guess it's the large "X" or maybe something else is different in the design. They both have 2013 RG with no motor work and the same air cleaner but there is a distinct sound difference. Just my 2 cents.
