Well about a month ago I pulled the trigger and bought a new 2013 CVO Ultra. I was convinced and even told my wife I would be happy with the stock exhaust and we wouldn't have to buy anything for the new bike. Lol boy was I kidding myself. Every time I rode the bike and heard other Harley's I craved the deep rumble I have known as the "harley sound". We were also contending with the tremendous heat associated with the catalytic converter. After reading numerous posts I decided first to tackle the heat issue hoping that would deepen the exhaust sound and make me happy. I bought a set of Vance & hines dresser duels and installed them using my stock cvo mufflers. Well it resolved the heat issue but I now know why they sell after market mufflers. In my (and my wife's) opinion it sounded terrible. It was louder but not in a good way. It was obnoxious. It reminded me of straight pipes or mufflers with no baffles on a Honda (sorry Honda riders). So my next step was to buy after market mufflers. I had heard a set of v&h monster ovals earlier in the year while we were in the sturgis area. I thought they sounded very good. I talked to a rep at v&h and he said the rounds and ovals would sound the same so I decided to order the rounds. (Wanted stock look). Man they sound great.  Very deep and you can really hear the lope of the screaming eagle cam. I am has happy as a pig in the mud. I honestly can say I have not heard any other system that I like better. Not too loud but so deep you can feel it. Like a bass speaker. WOW.

Just curious as to how much this set you back and if you had any concerns about voiding what little factory warranty there is?

Friend of mine just purchased a used 2010 Ultra Classic and it has the monster ovals on it. Sounds great but I do not care for the look.

I like the look of the rounds better than the ovals. My dealer has no problem with adding an after market exhaust.

Yellowcorvette, did you have a new down load to your ECM? Or did you add a turner device? Also when you get a chance show some pics.

I'm happy for you!

I would hope he got some sort of tuner......that thing runs lean from the factory and it can only get worse when you help it breathe easier.

I don't mean to rain on your parade. But without a new ECU map setup for the better flowing engine, the higher heat from the leaner engine is going to discolor those mufflers in very short order.

Yes I installed a Dobeck TFI. It runs great. I guess in all the excitement of being in the mud I forgot that detail. Lol. I have had Dobeck on 3 of my last 4 bikes and have had no problems with any of them. It seems to be a good product for the money. IMHO
