I`m running stock screaming eagle pipes right now and i`m not getting the growl i`m looking for for.I`m getting mixed reviews in drilling out the baffles.Not sure if i should get different slip on or pipes or the stage #1 ECT.

I`m not looking for a sound to wake up people for blocks around but for a deeper growl.

Any sugestions would be great! Thx

I would guess your going to get a lot of opinions on what pipes to buy, so let me be the first to show you what I did on my sefb. I went the Rinehart staggard pipes. They look like drag pipes but that

some of the older stock mufflers could be drilled out and made to sound/perform very good if done correctly.  The newer stock mufflers seem to be what they call 'catalitic' or something like that  and the internal construction does not lend itself to 'drilling out the baffle'.  I know, I tried modifing my stock mufflers on the '04 SEEG because I liked the looks of them and wanted to keep them if I could get them sounding and performing better.  Didn't work.  A lot of effort and ea. attempt only made them sound worse.  Finally ended up with a 'pop pop' sound that was worse than the stock sound.  Also, some of the newer Screaming Eagle slip'ons that I've heard are not as good as the older ones....they seem to have the pop pop sound to a lesser degree.   [smiley=blank.gif]

You might want to check Gerald Rineharts' tech page. http://www.rinehartracing.com/tuningtips.htm  On the bigger motors (103's and up) he suggests cutting the baffles in half and reinstalling the back half.  If you're going to modify your motor to larger than a 113 or so, it's recommended that you remove the baffle completely.  I've ridden and listened to both setups and can find little difference in the 1/2 baffle other than increased dyno numbers.  No bafffle is louder, but deeper in sound.  For me, the sound really doesn't bother as I just like that Rinehart rumble.

I'm running V&H Big radius. They look and sound very very sweet.  I went for the looks more so than performance.  Although they are better in performance than stock.  For performance,  I would of gone with 2 in 1 but this puppy runs fast enough for me.  

Good luck!

Phat...
Did you have to get retuned via computer?  Did you change out the pipes yourself?

Hi guys, new here. I had the Reinhart True Duals on my RKC that I traded for this SE Fat Boy. I wanted something with that kind of sound, nice deep rumble. Dealer let me listen to some Screamin Eagle II slip on's that were on a Heritage Classic and a Deuce they had. They sounded pretty good to me so that's what I had them add to my new bike. They do sound great, nice deep rumber but not too loud, IMOP. My husband also has a new SE E-Glide, he switched his Reinharts TD's from his SE Road King to the new E-Glide. They  sound just as great on this bike as they did the other. You can hardly tell the difference in sound between our two bikes. So if you like the sound of the Reinharts but don't want to spend that kind of money the SE II's do have a very simular sound. Sandy
