I have had Super Trapps on my bike for a while now with the double groove HD End Caps. I don't know if it's them or me but they are becoming too loud. Especially on a hard throttle and even more so on a long highway speed ride. When we got back from a long ride last weekend mine and my wifes ears were ringing for quite some time. So Thursday after work I swapped slip ons with my buddy. He has the old SE style from 2006 with slash down end caps. We rode to dinner that night with out wives and it was a lot more quiet. I really enjoyed the ride. Then on Friday afternoon we swapped our caps back as we were both happy the way the mufflers sounded. My bike was then noticably louder and had more pop again. Weird.

I would like to know what mufflers are being used out there to keep a decent deeper rumble on the 110's without having to wear earplugs on a long ride. I guess I could buy some slash down end caps but wanted to check other opinions first.

Thanks!!

Rob,
Just got off a PM with Hoist - he's got the SPOs.  Saw them when he blew through norther VA several weeks back.  I've tried to hold off and stay with the stock mufflers.  Ordering the SPOs tomorrow.

I did a search for them. Do you have a link? How was the sound? Quiet but throaty?

Go here - S&S Cycle and click on "Feature" (see pic below) and there will be a link to listen to the SPO's.

I really like my S&S SPOs and there are several links discussing them. Here is a link to my first impressions and the discussion trying to describe the sound :

Rob,

Been trying to contact Mark @ D&D to get the scoop on the Police Interceptor Slip on's. They advertise 70 db of  sound which is much less than Fatcat with quiet baffle which I would guess around 95 DB, my question is will the P.I kill the performance? Has anyone played with these yet? Will the SPO's handle the Dragon with out getting a polish of their own?? Greg

Texas103,

I bought the Police interceptors to replace my V&H True Duals.  I sold them 2 weeks later on Ebay because they were just as loud as my V&H out on the highway....

Long rides usually means soft foam earplugs for me, it muffles the wind noise more than anything, but takes out the harshness of highway speed exhaust noise as well.  You still hear conversation alright and I can hear my earpiece speakers as well.


Around town the exhaust is fine other than hard throttle.

Rob, I still have my 07 SE II slip ons for sale. If you'd like to try them out, I'll ship them to ya. Your cost tho. I'm looking for $200 + shipping. With Slash cuts.

There ain't no better sounding Dresser mufflers than S&S SPO's!!! They're quiet at cruising speeds, but bark just right when you get on them. And they have this mean stroker growl when you backoff of the throttle at speed, and between shifts. After the cams, I'm testing these against D&D Fatcats with quiet baffle. The D&D's have to really kill the SPO performance for me to give these up. I definitely give them the Hoist seal of approval! Hoist!

Howie,
Took the plunge on the SPOs yesterday from M&M.  Should be here early next week so I can get them installed before we head north.  Recall you had a "clearancing" issue when installing, but haven't taken the time to find the post.  Could you give me a quick run-down so I'll know what to expect?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Hey Tony, I had the issue with the combo of the V&H headpipes and the SPO's. The inside of the muffler had to get ground down a little to fit over the pipe. I think it was the muffler welds, but don't quite remember. Not sure on use with the stock headpipes. I'm convinced, after talking to the Tuner, that I'll be using the SPO's with the stock headpipies and dumping the TD's. He says the stock setup performs significantly better than 1-3/4" TD's. He also raved about the Fatcats. It'll be real interesting to see what exhaust winds up on this bike! Hoist!

Thanks, Howie.  I went with the V&H TDs as well and plan to stay with them since I truly appreciate the reduced temperature on my right thigh.  I finally found the thread and it sounds like there's a chance there may be a bit of a weld issue inside the muffler throat.  Not a problem, have rasp, will file  .  Good luck on the mods.
