triglide slip-on mufflers

[roadkill]

i was woundering if any one has done the slip-on mufflers and the down load and air breather on the tri glide ? i was thinking about rush slip-on mufflers!

Before I took delivery, I had installed, PC5, Slip Ons, SE Breather. At thousand miles, Amsoil in crank, trans, primary. Also installed Heat Shields from RJS Originals. Trike is running cooler and much more comfortable for me and Kay.

I had screamin eagle (SE) slip-ons installed and noticed a bit of horsepower loss. Since then I had a PowerCommander 5 and SE breather installed. This solved my horsepower loss and it now runs about 20-30 degrees cooler. Hadn't thought about the Amsoil since I already run synthetic (might upgrade at 5K).

I have Vance and Hines slip ons. Haven't done anything else yet. So far, no loss of power, but I will probably get the power commander .

let me know how loud they are i had and ear operation two years ago and can't handle anything to load
i'm think of rush with the power commander and the air breather so told it adds 5% horse power

I don't think they are that loud. They have a nice healthy low rumble sound, but once I am up to speed, I don't really hear them unless I blip the throttle. I didn't want too loud either, so was pleasantly surprised with these. I listened to the rush slip ons on you tube and wasn't real impressed. That is what I originally was going to do. If I am going to spend money on pipes, I want to be heard if I need to be.

I tried all the web sites for exhaust sounds. None of them sounded like the real thing on my cheap pc speakers.

I went with the Rush with 2" baffles. You can hear it very clear when you get on the throttle

I had Vance and Hines short shots on my Superglide and loved them also.

My last Ultra had Super Trapp. Not as loud as the Rush but sounded good.

Good luck on choosing.

I have used (and have on my trike currently) "Wild Pig" brand mufflers. These are routinely sold on ebay for about 175 bucks a pair, and perform and sound very nice. At 175 dollars, they are considered "factory seconds" as there are supposed to be "minor defects" in the chrome, which do not affect integrity at all. I've bought 4 sets of these, and found that you have to look hard to find anything wrong with the chrome. On a trike, you aren't going to see them anyway.....
Just a less expensive alternative....

I'm glad you like them. They do sound bad! Yet, they are not obnoxious at all. So go ahead and blip that throttle!

Why do H-D riders blip the throttle all the time?

i wasn't impressed either stock pipes sound better then rush

Because we can

I had slant pipes w/o baffles on my Electra-Glide...way loud. The V&H slip-ons have just the right tone and people on the interstate knew I was coming along side them before I got there!!!! Yippy, they work

I am thoroughly impressed with the look and sound.

RoadKill,

We got ours on e-bay, but I just looked and they only had some for $689 for the tri glide. We didn't pay that much. They are called Vance&Hines tapered slash slip ons . Not sure about the part number. Call this number (516) 352-5555 and tell them you are looking for the tapered slash slip ons for the Tri Glide. The Name of the dealer is H-D parts4less. I am sending you a PM.
