I have run the Samson Rolled Thunders on a stock headpipe, the V&H propipe and now have the Fullsac mufflers on the stock headpipe.Paniolo said:I'm with you brother!
Sometime I feel like Goldielocks with this whole exhaust thing.
I've had:
Touring Mufflers on OEM pipes - Too OEM for me
Rinehart True Duals - Too poorly constructed for me
Hooker True Duals - Too loud for me
and now....
FullSac Mufflers on the Hooker pipes. - Just right, so far....
LOL
I got the Hooker Headers as part of the whole Hooker True Dual exhaust set up. When the TQ/HP adjustment rings on the Hooker mufflers broke, I went to the FullSacs. I was also a good excuse to cut back on some noise too.Road Glider said:I have run the Samson Rolled Thunders on a stock headpipe, the V&H propipe and now have the Fullsac mufflers on the stock headpipe.
I also like the sound of the fullsac mufflers, just right for me.
But Paniolo, question. the hooker pipes are true duals? You think they make some more power than the stock head pipe? or is just to get rid of the heat? also are they any better or different than the V&H true dual headpipes? Later, RG.

The S&S SPO are stainless steel. Just put a little elbow grease on them and they will shine like new!HR1961 said:Do these discolor easily? I wouldn't want to buy heat shields. Plan on using a DFO box and SE air cleaner.
Just finished up 9 (long) days in Baja, Mexico with the S&S SPO's on my '05 FLHTCI.HR1961 said:Having a real tough time picking out mufflers for my RG.

Do you have any idea of the torque at say 3000 rpm on a stock 88 with air cleaner and DFO?styd24 said:The S&S SPO are stainless steel. Just put a little elbow grease on them and they will shine like new!
I am running the SPO's they are nice. Got them because they are not overly load and obnoxious and can hear the radio at all speeds. They sound like a muscle car! They are bit large but they accent the Hard saddlebags perfectly.
The SPO are slip-ons so you either you can maintain your stock header system or buy true duals (Bubs, Vance and Hines, Samson, Cycle Shack).
No. But on the S&S website, they post a dyno sheet with SPO's on a mostly stock motor. There are slight gains in HP & TQ where it counts.HR1961 said:Do you have any idea of the torque at say 3000 rpm on a stock 88 with air cleaner and DFO?

TQ seems really low.Other top performers are getting 80 to 85.wyodude said:I don't know about 3KRPMs but max HP/TQ is around 60/70.
I've built a 01 low rider before with the pro-pipe HS and would buy it again but it just doesn't look right on a bagger. What I want is a muffler on the quieter side with an improvement in torque. So far the Hooker and Khromewerks are the torque winners. I've talked to a good tuner at a dealership and they really like the hookers but they are on the loud side.I haven't heard the Khromewerks mufflers yet.adlerx said:NOT ENOUGH!!
Do the right thing and get a V&H ProPipe, RB-LSR or D&D Fatcat now! That way when you do the performance upgrade on your motor(I can tell you're gonna want it sooner than later) your pipes won't be holding you back.
All of those mentioned look and sound awesome, never heard anyone with any of those 3 complain.
