Which slip-on do your prefer?

What cut to you prefer on a slip-on muffler; slash down, slash out, tapered, or baloney cut?

Actually, swapped to slash-up on the Electra Glide from slash down.

I get the occasional "why are they on upside-down?" but they follow the lines of the bags down and look great IMHO.

Again, this is on a bagger (Wild Pig slip-ons slash up).

I like the classic look of slash-downs. I had some SE II's from '05

I have Rush slash-up on my FLHRI. I also like the lines with the bags.

Bagger = slash up
softail / dyna (both pipes on the same side) = slash out

Slash-ups on a bagger. Some think they look unconventional, but I think they just look 'right'. Goes with the flow of the bags and lines of the bike, like stated above. That, and the fact that most baggers in these parts run the more common, cookie-cutter, slash-downs. It's good to have a different slant (pun intended) on things.

Screamin Eagle Slash ups

Love the SE slash ups. No longer made but sound great and only require download. You can find em on e-bay or some shops have em hangin around. Have them on 04 FLHTPI with AC and race download and bike performs great. Nice improvement over totally stock and slash ups match the slant of the saddlebags. Only down side is if you are going to so substantial engine upgrades I don't believe they are great. Made to work with only HD download and AC.

On your Deuce? Tapered. For baggers it's a different story.
