I'm struggling w/ an exhaust decision 4 Years, 2 Months ago  
I'm looking at the Bub Rineharts flush cuts. Performance ans sound are the main benefits here. Ebay hasd these for $450 that's $400 bucks off.


or

The Samson Big Guns. The follow the rear wheel sub frome nicely and are $100 cheaper. I hear they are really load though.

Any help with direction would be nice.

not sure about the Rineharts, I was looking at the big guns, even though the price was cheaper, it appeared that I would have to purchase the heat sheald and baffles in addition. might have miss-read. But I comes down to your preference on the style.

Best bet on pipes is to find a group and check out all their pipes and sounds and ask around about the ones you like the best. Hearing set of pipes does make it more easy to decide. Just my 2 cents.

I have the Rineharts and I love 'em. I got mine from eBay for $450 and they were perfect, no flaws. Installed easy and they sound awesome, very deep and throaty. At first I thought they were a little loud, but now they seem tame except when I really crank on the throttle .

I have the Samson Rolled Thunder Slip On Pipes, I got them off Ebay for around $200.00. They are great sounding pipes with a nice rumble, you cannot go wrong for the price.

I just got the BuBs Jug Huggers and like Slowride I though they were
to loud...but they do tame down some. They sound deep and thats what
I was looking for. They quality is very good and super easy to install.

Hey fishead and Slowride are you runing the baffles or torque cones in your pipes?

I also have the rolled thunder slip ons from SAMSON.
I love them. They are a low rumble at idle and are deep and loud in direct relation to load. I like that I didn't just want pipes that roared all the time. You can quiet them if you ease into them but still hard to sneak in: laugh: Dearman
