Well, they do have a race proven baffle that increases torque and horsepower....

Ya  LOL  gotta love the race proven stuff..

The mufflers I have on the bike now are from day 1, now over 16 years old. Chrome isn't in great shape and sounding "raspy" for lack of a tech term. What ever packing they had I'm pretty sure is gone.

Just thinking about replacing them

They are very affordable, might be worth the risk. Could sell them for a slight loss if they are crap.

I  doubt Chinese mufflers would be very good quality.

Yea... I have to agree...I didn't see they were made in China. I do my best to not buy stuff made over there. But my iPhone was made in China and that works good..  LOL  maybe the only thing ever.

Trump Trump Trump or Thump Thump Thump.. That's how a friends RK sounded with V&H   

Wish there were swap meets around here.. Haven't found one worth going to in over 10 years here in SC.

Rockinham NC has one but $40.00 a head to get in..

I have these on my ''14 RK, and am VERY happy with them. They are well made, and sound just like my friends Ultra with Rinehearts;

Thanx for the reply.  I'm on the fence...Not something I really need, just would like to have.  Iv'e never heard Rinehears that were not wicked loud. I guess that's all a matter of opinion.  I didn't think drag pipes were to loud when I was a kid LOL   TY again. appreciate you  sharing your experience.

[Tynker]

Rinehearts are NOT very loud, they have a nice mellow sound.

I agree

OK Tynker, Thanx,  So by your ear those inexpensive slip ons are not real obnoxious loud ? 

Looking into them from the end in the picture they look "straight" through.. ? 

I like for people to know I'm approaching but not from 2 mi away. 

TY for the input as well John

[Ancient]

You haven't told us what header you are using? Lot's of slip ons out there are nice and mellow with a catted header, but fairly obnoxious with an open header to my ear anyhow. Course I'm old and intolerant.

I tried Crusher Mellows with an open header and they were to damn loud for me.

2001 FLHT no cat stock head pipes.  LOL  Yea.. old and intolerant here to. Not to mention cheap.. 

[Tynker]

Well to clear this sound thing up, I have a 2014 Road King, with stock catted head pipe. These slip on's do have a nice mellow sound, fitted to my bike. JMHO, YOMV

[Hossamania]

The Fuel Moto Jackpot Slip-on Classic mufflers are $199. Just throwing them out there for a comparison on pricing and known quality.

Thanx  Hoss, I'll take a look

They look good, and baffles can be changed.

Here is a thought.  Those mufflers you are interested in IMO will be fairly loud, especially if you have had a stock exhaust system on since 2001.  Anything you can see straight through like that will be loud, that is just the way it is.  Of course loud is relative.  Stock mufflers used since 2010 on touring bikes have a pretty decent sound when used on older bikes lacking cats in the headers.  These newer mufflers don't have as much guts as they used to.  Anyway here are some part numbers for you to consider:

65538-09, 65846-10A (straight ends)

65547-09A, 65354-10A (slash up ends)

65592-09A, 64900016A (slash down ends)

I believe I have the ends straight here, not sure.  But if you go to ebay and search for "Harley touring mufflers" you will usually find lots of them for sale dirt  cheap.  They are usually new "take offs"  I am running a set of the straight ended ones (which will look  and fit just like the ones that came with your 2001 FLHT) and I am very pleased with the way they look and sound.

Thanx smoserx1,   I'm not running stock mufflers,  The ones I have on were installed at the dealer before I took delivery of the bike. Stockers are on the shelf.  They said the ones they put on were "Harley Davidson Performance Mufflers"   They are much louder than stock..
The reasons I'm thinking about changing them is cosmetic and they sound "raspy". I don't imagine there is much if any packing left after 98,000 mi.  They are pretty loud at 70 mph & 3,000 rpm running next to a guard rail or under a bridge.

The mufflers I have on are also stamped for 1340 cc HD motorcycles only.

I'll take a look at those PN's you posted..

I'd got with those ^^^^  before the 169.00 mufflers I have tried some very similar to those, the  Chrome started turning brown they have no packing in the ones that I had tried

Thanx Mke,  Think I'm shying away from those swiss cheese ones.. Leaning toward the Fuel Moto or something similar.

Just looked at some DNA megaphones on ebay, 129.00 New but scratched on one side of body.. Would have bought but the shipping was almost $50.00   

[motorhogman]

Anyone have any experience with this brand or this particular muffler ?
