Default What is the deal with Rush slip-ons???

I was just browsing some exhaust threads here in the touring forum and seems alot of people run these. Are they that good??? They look similar to the Wild Pig slip-ons. I was debating on slip-ons for my soon to be 07 Road Glide. Top on my list were the Pythons. But I am wondering if the Rush may be a better bet. I did have Wild Pigs on my Street Glide and I really didn't like the sound. I like loud, deep and throaty but not raspy, tinny and obnixious. So far out of all the pipes I have ever heard the Rineharts still have the best sound. But they are out of the budget right now.

Deep they are, and damned loud, especially with true duals. I put 2 1/2" on mine and couldn't believe how they sounded. Have to admit there is a whistle in mine when backing off. I'll find it and get it straightened out. I really like the sound

Anyone had a chance to compare the sound of the Rush to the Wild Pigs, Pythons, or Rinehart slip-ons???

In my opinion the rush mufflers are the best sounding pipes next to the Rineharts, I have V&H tru duals with Rush mufflers, 2 1/2" baffles, very deep sound, the 2 1/4" sounds good also and will give a little more back pressure, the stealer near where I live is selling the crap out of them, he said that Harley reconmended them for a aftermarket pipe, go figure, also every time I go on a ride on a poker run or a benifit peploe are always asking what kind of pipes are those, then they want'em, try them and I think you will like what ya hear.

I had Pythons on my 04 RK...they were nice. I ride with a guy that has a RKC & he has Pythons. I put V&H Ovals on my 07 Electra and they have a similar sound...although I think the V&H are a tad quieter and maybe a little deeper.

I too looked into RUSH as SHB recommended them to me for both price, quality, and performance. I girl I work with has a Nightster that she put RUSH on...they were pretty loud to me for a slip on.

All I can say is EBAY, EBAY, EBAY, I've seen them for as little as $225 on there.

I had 2 inch on my street glide, love em. People constantly say that they are too loud but they have different baffles for quieter or louder. My 2 inch lets me hear my radio well at 70mph, I don't think that's too loud. As someone else mentioned I get asked all of the time what my mufflers are and compliments on how good they sound. Buy them, you won't regret it.
