Slip-on exhaust
My 05 ultra classic sounds like my dad's sedan with stock pipes. Searching i see pipes 4,5 even 600 bucks. But..on Dennis kirks web site I see pairs from 78 bucks and up a lot are a couple hundred shipped any folks used these? IM LOOKING FOR LOUD but want to retain back pressure so not to loose power. Any suggestions

I would either go for Vance and Hines slip ons or Rinehart slip ons. Both are great brands and will produce that deep sound you are looking for. In my experience, the touring models I see always have slip ons and they sound like THUNDER.

without a lot of other upgrades. at best, the pipes will give the bike a little more than sound. I have a full Vance Hines system on my big metric and it is scary. Guys riding in the next lane on the freeway have told me they can fell their chest getting punched from my exhaust. I really like the Rinehart stuff for looks im hooked. I would like to talk to someone that has ran the cheaper pipes that D. Kirk's site advertises just to see if paying twice as much will be justified. I'm trying to budget all the improvements the number grows rather quick lol
Thanks agian...

Check out the baffle selection at Big City Thunder; might be all you need, save some $$ and maybe even improve performance.

Your probably not going to be happy with the sound or chrome quality of some of the off brand cheap mufflers shown there. But they do have some really good bargains now on some close-outs. I can recommend the Crushers (if you want black) or the Vance & Hines Monsters at half price.

I just recently purchased the 2013 Street Bob with a 103 and PO put Rush slip-ons on and I was surprised how good they sound.. They're a louvered baffle and they're really not that expensive..

Rush makes a good slip on; very similar to Cycle Shack which were also inexpensive and performed well but no longer available.

Look into a company called "cobra" reasonable prices, made in america and much higher quality then whatever that 78 dollar crap would be.
