I just picked up my new bike - Black/Red.  I don;t want to remove the Cats and I like the look of the stock mufflers.  Has anyone installed the Fullsac cores but left everything else?  I don't want it too loud but louder than stock.  Please let me know.

I put the Fullsac 2" cores with the cat still in the pipe. It sounded good but I thought it was a little too quiet. Truthfully I only rode it about 30 miles around town. I pulled the cat out today and it sounds perfect to me

Was it a lot louder with the 2" cores?  On my Road King, I left the cats and put on V & H Monster Ovals and I was really happy.  It sounded better but didn't piss off the neighbors!

I think you'll be happy with the Fullsac baffles.  You can always remove the cat later, if you want to.

Installing the Fullsac baffles will make it sound like a Harley without being obnoxious.

OR, if you don't want to fool with cutting the baffles out of the stock, you could just buy some Rineharts which also have a black end cap and look pretty sweet on the Black Diamond bike IMHO.

stock was super quiet, with the 2" cores only; you could hear the exhaust over the intake noise but could still hear the intake noise  a little, with the cat removed you don't hear the intake just a nice deep rumble. I originally thought I would be buying either rineharts or the V&H HO's but I'm pretty happy with the Fullsac's.

Thanks, all.

I agree.  I like the appearance of the Rineharts, plus the sound.

How the heck did this end up here. This was my response to the tire and rim warranty.

Yep....this looks real nice. I would go this way too if i was going to replace the exhaust but with the new noise laws getting ready to kick in over here i will stick with the stock exhaust.

Wow, that sucks if your local police thinks these are too loud.  Personally, I think these Rineharts are not very loud at all, but  enough of a rumble to know it is a Harley.  I couldn't take the stock sound for one more day, it was killing me to hear the "tick" of the engine over the bike.  There is just inherently something wrong with that.    Good luck.

We are told that if the bike has the stock exhaust it should pass. The noise level is between 92 and 95 db at idle and while revving a at a certain rpm while they hold a wand about 20 inches, on an angle to your muffler. A fail and they give you a fine and you have to replace your exhaust. It has taking affect in some city's and it's just a matter of time before it's everywhere
