I've got the V&H true duals and oval slip on mufflers.  Love 'em!!  Love the sound and the performance.  They are not as loud as RH's with the standard baffle.  (I got a chance to hear both the RH's and the V&H side by side at my dealer before I decided.)  I can run them pretty quietly at 5am leaving the neighborhood to go to work, or really make them bark if I want to.  Fit and finish was/is excellent, no problems with clearance on the brake pedal and would buy them again. No complaints what-so-ever.
Cheers ,

I currently have the V&H Big Shot Duals >> no mufflers needed
http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=17917
The link shows the pipes with the optional fishtail end caps.  They come with regular straight-cup billet end caps.  I have the fishtails ordered.
I have already changed the baffles >> the original baffles were a bit too loud for me.  I switched to the quiet baffles.  They still sound off really good.  I have read that the quiet baffles increase the torque.

LRebel, I looked at three sites, all about the same price, I decided to go with Phat Performance, thanks for the info, free shipping and a free T-shirt. The V&H Classics should be here Monday!

Talon,
Good deal...Hope you like them!

Just so you know, my original replacement pipes were V&H headpipes. The fit sucked. It destroyed my brake pedal due to lack of clearance, and the O2 sensor bungs are in a bad location and come way too close to the trans. Never tried the RH and don't intend to. 2>1 is the only way to go!

Hoist!

I agree with Hoist, 2 into 1 seems to be the way to go, alot of people say the D&D 2-1 is good! If you don't like it to loud, you can get the performance-quiet baffle for it!!

                       Just my opinion,

I also have to say the RH are the best, they sound great all the way thru, give it a shot and you will know what you have, tuners love them , they can get great performance from them, if they turn purple Spyder will take them, if they turn orange I will

This is just my worthless opinion, but tuners do love the Rineharts becasue they really do make some great numbers overall, but I've yet to see a touque curve on the Rineharts that didn't lag in the lower RPM's where a loaded touring bike needs it most. As long as you don't want the power in the lower range, then the Rineharts are the ticket.

Does anyone have the phone # for RH
I will be getting new caps saving the purple ones for spyder

Yeeeeeha!  (rebel yell)  har!  spyder

I getting to Pull my New about (6 weeks old)  RH's off and will most likley sell them. New Version with 02 bungs a two additional baffles.Performance & Quiet. I have the performance installed now. Just a little too loud for me///I'll take $400 you pay
the freight

I have the BUB Tru Dual header pipes w/ the new Eagle Beak (EB) mufflers....have same issue with the clearance on brake pedal......especially stopping.  Get a vibration through the pedal due to contact with header pipe.  Instead of end caps, EBs have a Rinehardht black trim ring...so far, no color change.  And yes, they rumble.....at highway speeds in 6th gear it's music to my ears to hear that deep HD sound we all like.  But from 1st to 4th gettin' on it, the people behind you will need hearing protection !   I like it !

Thanks for all the opinions. I am torn between Rinehart TD and V&H TD. I will probably go with V&H
because of the wide selection of mufflers for them. But if i found a good deal on Rineharts, who knows
i might just have to buy them.


                                                  Thanks,

Hope you have better luck with the RH TDs than I did. The dealer said they wouldn't fit then refused to even try. They recommended slip-ons instead. The slip-ons are too loud and the change in performance after a dyno tune absolutely sucks! Low end torque is gone. Throttle response is gone. Should have left it alone! But, this is probably due to 'unforeseen circumstances' - an inept dealer!

Oh yes, this is an FLHRSE4. That was a great bike!

Here you go! Here is one. Pretty flat across the rpm range.

Here's a dyno comparison, from the Latus site. Depends what your looking for, where you want your gains, some people get the RH, just to get the true duel look.

Here's a dyno comparison of RH/TD, and V&H slip-ons, I posted earlier in the thread.
