Not the best of quality but here are a few.

I'm thinking about trading in my Rhineharts and installing the D and D with a ghost pipe on my 04. What do you think? I'm getting tired of the softer sound of the Rhineharts.

MontSE103 – IMHO you will be pleased with the D&D / quiet baffle / 2:1.   If you want it really loud go for the D&D performance baffle / 2:1.

Can one of you guys look to see how close your D&D header is to the transmission chrome cover??   Mine is tighter than Dicks hat band and without prying the header over and tightening the bolt it even touches.

Thanks in advance.

There is an adjustment bolt directly under that area.  Mine was right up against the transmission cover when the shop installed mine.  I loosened the bolt, pulled it out slightly away from the cover, and tightened it back up.

I have the D&D loud baffle on mine.  Guess what...it's pretty dang loud.  My friend has the quiet baffle on his 08 SEUC and there's a big difference in the sound.  It's far from quiet, but when you put the bikes side by side, all you hear is mine.  The quiet baffle sounds real good, and like I said, it's still loud, but not quite so annoying so like mine is.  Don't get me wrong...I don' t find my loud one to be annoying, but a few of my neighbors haven't been shy about commenting on them.  My bike just plain sounds mean and powerful and I like it that way.  In fact it sounds down right impressive.  I did upgrade to the 8 speaker Hog Wired stereo, so I don't have any problems listening to my tunes, but then the same neighbors haven't been shy about letting me know that my stereo sounds like a traveling rock band going down the street.

My advice is that if you are not tolerant to the upper end of noise levels, go with the quiet baffle.  You'll still make plenty of good ole Harley music going down the street, but probably a lot more tolerable by most.

Someone mentioned that the chrome was nicer on the D&D's.  My exhaust pipes are beautifully chromed.  The mufflers on the other hand are less than spectacular.  The ghost pipe is tolerable, but the right side muffler came badly pitted or rough all over the surface area that you don't really see.  I can feel it everytime I clean.  It feels like a pipe that's been on there getting beat by rocks for 10 years and 100,000 miles.  I'm hoping that this doesn't turn into a rusting problem down the road, but I just felt that the entire circumference of the muffler should have a nice smooth finish and that is certainly not the case.  On the flip side, I got mine right around the time that they were having trouble with their chromer, and possibly this was among a group that was sent out just before they detected the problems and the chromer shut down for a while to get the contamination problem under control.  Should I have sent it back for a replacement immediately?  Probably.  But you are kind of stuck if you don't want your bike sitting inoperable for a period of time waiting for a replacement.

Am I missing something?  That looks like an 07 SEUC to me in the photo.

Thanks in advance.

Had my D&D installed last month and there is sufficient clearance between the header and transmission cover to clean my shields.

No signs of any contamination on my mufflers.    I'd call them and see if they would exchange the pitted mufflers for good ones.  They can only say no.

AS FAR AS THE 2007 SE BIKE ABOVE ...YOU ARE CORRECT.LIKE I SAID I USE THIS PIPE ON ALL OF MY BIKES.I SIMPLY STATED THAT I ALSO CURRENTLY HAVE THE SAME PIPE SETUP ON MY 2005 SE ELECTRA GLIDE ALSO.MY 2004 SE DUECE ALSO HAS THE SAME PIPE.

Now it makes more sense.  I had no way of knowing that you had more than one bike.  I wish I did.  I thought you were saying that you put it on all your bikes, as in the past.  If you fill out your profile and list all of these, everyone will know that even though you are a newbie to this forum, you sure aren't when it comes to CVO's.  I'm certainly jealous.

Thunderheaders rock!!     we will need to see pics Ohio Phil

Phil, wanted to respond about the Thunder Header. Although they do give some improvement as far as power goes, but IMO they're butt ugly, especially when you try and mount them on the SERG, there is a fine line between form and function. some people have had problems with the theaders warping and piss poor customer support from the Manufacturer.
The vision of the SERG is a work of art and walking the Form/function tight rope is easier on this bike than any other one I've had.
On my No Cat/Fullsac/TTS setup, I get 94 hp/116 FPT

I will be replacing my exhaust with the following on Monday:

D&D Boss 2 into 1 with a Ghost Pipe

SE Heavy Breather

Super Tune


What can I expect for HP and Torque?
