Hi fellow CVO riders my 2012 CVO Streetglide arrives this month - what exhaust works best and sounds good without compromises the sound from the audio system.

[f u want the most power u can get, a 2-1 exhaust header is best,,, Or a 2-1-2 will give u the dual exhaust out the back, while still giving u big boost over stock. I have had all of the above, but with a bagger I wanted duals and ended up w/ V&H Power Duals and a set of matching V&H Hi-Output slip-ons.
They sound great, nearly 4" ID and really, really deep in tone!!!!

Your first post so we'll cut you some slack......but this has been beat to death on this board. ;D

A safe bet that more members are using Fullsac baffles and Fullsac X pipe header than all the others put together.  Do a search on Fullsac on this forum.

Others are Vance & Hines and D&D.

Lots of fullsac fans here.  I'm one them now also.  I went with the 2" cores and they are just right.  You might even have to turn down the radio at times to hear them.  I didn't want loud an I am very happy so far with these.  :)

Yeah, it isnt that V&H are the only X pipe, there are atleast 2 other brands. I am not knocking them, I just like the V&H coatings and how they look new for years. I don't have experience with those products, so I cannot tell u anything about them, but then again the OP already has the head pipes and slipons, he just needs help in fitment... Now it looks like the installer has opened up the cover to the pipe by spreading it to a larger in dia. so that it goes out side the covers on the X and on the slipon, in reality it should be rolled tight again and then covered by each cover on the ends of this cover. That covers that.  ;)

I'm going with the Vance & Hines Power Duals header pipe with the Monster Round slipons.  I, like you, was concerned with going too loud and not being able to enjoy my stereo while on the highway.  I like the sound of these and they weren't too loud.  Here's a piece of V&H's advert....
"the new Monster Round produces that deep and mellow rumble that’s winning the hearts and minds of touring riders who put in the long distance miles. Perfect for enjoying your stereo on the highway."

Welcome to the site. Hope what you decide on works well for you. I, like many others on this site would not sell my Fullsac setup for a profit even though they are 2 yrs old. Good luck.

Man, that was very well put and afraid I have to agree. :2vrolijk_21:

On the flip side......there's a thread on this board a few years ago.....about the lack of quality in Vance & Hines quality and their lack of standing behind their products.  My story is one of them. :nixweiss:   After using Vance & Hines for years, I'll never own another V&H product!

I have a similiar experience with Vance and Hines exhaust.  A quality issue with flaking chrome - and was basically told to pound salt.  I'm a quick learner in such circumstance...   ;)

Sounds familiar.  The bike set for six months out of the year warranty, the weld breaks just after the warranty expired.....they told me I was SOL. :nixweiss:  I had the receipt showing mileage when the dealership installed the exhaust and documentation from the dealership showing just a few thousand miles when the weld broke.......didn't matter, they weren't going to stand behind it.

Welcome to the site from NY..

Still want to hear the radio-----here is another vote for the Fullsac X pipe and baffles....want to go a little louder, then still use the X pipe, just pick another slip on muffler. Either way Fullsac will be in the answer!
