Just wondering what everyone is running on their FXR.  I havent even gotten the darn thing yet, and I know that the stock system will not be loud enough.  I am looking for the deepest tone.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim

If you can find some original Screamin Eagle slip ons, they are hard to beat. The newer SE II's are not as loud. I had some old SE slip ons but they were damaged, and I replaced them with Cycle Shack slip ons. I think they are real close to the original SE mufflers in tone and loudness for half the price.

Well, as the storey goes, I went with the Vance and Hines Straight Shots.  I really like the look and I have seen a few FXRs with them.  I dont know how they will sound, but I do know they are very popular here in Kansas City.  Seems everyone has V&H pipes!
I will send pics soon..the dealer wont be done until Tuesday.

I run staggered Straight Shots on mine, with an outside-in slash cut.

They pop nice when you open it up, and chug quietly when riding near Johnny Law.

And they set off car alarms in ritzy neighborhoods.

That should be a sales slogan

I have Sampson rip saws on mine. I like the look but they are loud to say the least. Had a V/H 2 into 1 pro pipe prior to this. More horsepower with the pro pipe but I like the looks of the Sampsons better.

I use Khromewerks AR staggered duals with tapered mufflers to keep the stock FXR look, right down to the kicked-up front pipe at the footpeg, but minus the crossover pipe.  I'm pleased with the look and sound.  They have welded-in baffles.

I have sampson pipes, and I like them but they are too loud.

I have Vance and Hines Short Shots on my 99 FXR3. They have the slash cut tips, get lots of comments, and set off car alarms.

I always thought that Pythons were the best for FXR's  Great looks, great sound and good performance across the RPM range. Cycle Shack next- - - -Super value pipes.

PS
      SuperTrapp duals with all of the discs removed. Awesome sound and believe it or not good performance on an 80" motor with mid range cam and most HiPo carbs

those pipes look good on your bike, but in your sig pic it looks like you are running V&H straight shots, is that right ?  why the change ?

Mikey, that post and picture was posted in August of 2005.    Taken earlier than that in NC.  A LOT has changed since then.
 
As much as I liked the Khrome Werks pipes for the reasons stated back then, I decided over time that I didn't like the scabbed-on look of the stock heat shields and did like the "straight" and smooth look of the Straight Shots pipes.  I initially wondered if the Straight Shots would be too loud but I ran into a FXR3 in the Keys with Straight Shots on it and after a listen was sold.  I think I've had the Straight Shots on for about 2 1/2 years now. I did have to feel around for a quieter baffle for them but I settled on V&H's own Quiet Baffle (#V21869).

I have an older set of SE slip on's my FXR4 and there great.Nice tone and when you crack the throttle the bark pretty good.
Good Luck
