My DLX factory pipes are too dang quiet! - Rebel73_imp - 01-20-2016

I'm not looking for Harley decibels, but dangit, I want to hear SOME rumble! I know there are other exhaust threads out there but there seems to be no definitive answer about options for my DLX.

Are there still no slip-ons available yet for the DLX? Drilling baffles?

What are the best aftermarket 4-2 pipes out there? It would also be nice to get a performance boost as I plan to do the Guhl ECU flash as well.

I'm willing to lose the center-stand. Opinions?

I got one! And it's free!Big Grin Keep the factory pipes. After an hour on the road you'll appreciate it much more. Thumbs Up

Again, I am not talking about deafening Harley levels, just a nice audible rumble.
I love the look of the factory pipes, just not the (lack of) sound.

Doesn't overracing make a set of slip ons for the DLX?

Me too Rob, the Standards get all the cool slip-ons. Staintune is not interested because 4 into 2 don't exist in OZ. I would kill for a pair of Yosh RS-3s. I think most are changing the whole exhaust, but I don't want to lose my chrome headers, I don't like the way that the standard headers darken. There was someone on the forum that canableized their muffler, not sure how that worked out.

The cat seems to be the noise killer, so after market silencers will most likely do little for you unless you replace the whole system.

Ferret, I took a closer look at the Samurider site and found the Over racing slip-ons. I believe it's about 1k for the pair.

I'm gonna take a close look at these. Thanks.

So I just watched a Youtube video and I like the sound of the Over slip-ons!
The titanium ones will even shed a few lbs.

Drill the end plate like I did. Here's the original thread:
