Has anyone tried Rush Slip On's yet on their bike?

The XiED(tm) (Inline Enrichment Device)

The richer fuel mixture provides better heat reduction and improved performance.
Nightrider's unique "patent pending" design approximates a richer fuel mixtures to quickly and simply improve the closed loop fuel mixture on your TC96/103/110 engine from 14.6:1 to 13.8:1. This results in cooler exhaust temperatures. Recommended for stock bikes and those with upgraded exhaust or intake.

If the mixture is too rich, is it possible to "wash" the oil film off the cylinder walls enough to compromise the piston ring seal and cause oil usage?

From what I've heard, slip ons are a waste of money if you don't get rid of the catalytic converters.

The IED's come in different settings the most rich 13:8 to 1 for Closed Loop.

During open loop "Cold Idle" and "WOT" it is as rich as 12:1 from the plant. Never seen a rich condition capable of that symptom.

However at 12:1 you will see black smoke from the tailpipe under acceleration

If all your after is "Sound" improvement they all will add some growl!

You will get a much lower tone to the exhaust note after the CAT is removed.

Am looking for the most low to mid-range power improvement, like some sound improvement but not loud.  Can you buy the V&H power dual head pipe without mufflers?

[Badger Mike]

Great sound on the V&H pipes and Boom Cans!  Thanks for the You Tube, it really helps me in trying to figure out what to do for pipes when the snow melts   I've run Rush Slip Ons for my 2007 FLHX and liked the sound, not too loud and not too quiet, and very good performance off the Dyno.

The better half has Rush slip-ons on her '07 Fatboy - the sound is nice (subjective) and the bike is perky. The V&H Big Radius on my Dux was louder, a bit too much at times... the Rush on hers were a happy compromise.. good sounding but not crushing on the decibels.

[Badger Mike]

Agreed, I thought they were a nice compromise between the V&H or Rheinharts and the stock mufflers.  Rode all the way to Red Lodge, MT and back and my ears didn't ring anymore than they normally do!  That's what you get for 15 years of shooting artillery shells!  I would think they would sound even better coming off of the 110.

Am lookingFor the most complete performance package, pair Power Duals with any of the Vance & Hines slip-on mufflers  for the most low to midrange power improvement, like some sound improvement but not loud.  Can you buy the V&H power dual head pipe without mufflers?

Power Duals are only Headers

If you read the description it states compatible with slip on mufflers.

It only comes that way even though the "Power Duals" name may lead you to think it is a complete system. In fact it is just the Head pipes.

[Badger Mike]

Got it, thanks.

[Wheelsnkeels]

My feeling is you will find even the Rush a little louder with the V&H Power Duals. Just a hunch. 

I think it would be do to the more even flow through both mufflers.

Each time I ride them it feels like a shot of testosterone.

Gotta Love it!
