Well in the interest of always tinkering, I had been wanting to try a different set of mufflers just because I've always had the same setup on my bike and, well, wanted to try something else! My bike has always put off a lot of heat on my right leg/thigh, and I sort of always thought it was because my Screaming Eagle slip-ons were too restrictive. I have V&H Power Duals, Big Sucker AC and FP3, but the cans are pretty heavily baffled. What I do like about my setup is that it isn't too loud. I can comfortably cruise on the highway and hear my upgraded stereo pretty well. When I twist the throttle I get a nice rumble, but nothing like a Cobra Neighbor Hater or CFR.
I always thought of trying the Arlen Ness Redlines by Magnaflow, because they look sweet and in videos they were very deep and gave a tight PURRRR sound (opposite of a V&H-type sound). Well I found a used pair and threw them on yesterday to see what it was like. Holy crap are they loud! I mean, house-shaking, head-rattling, loud. I can be 10 ft behind them and feel the air pressure! The tone is incredibly deep and throaty, which is awesome, but what doesn't come across in videos is pure volume.
I made a before/after video, and you really can't tell the increase in volume as much, but trust me, it's friggin loud.
For due diligence I did take it for a ride, and hated every minute of it. The old Screamin Eagle cans are going back on this weekend. I guess the grass isn't always greener on the other side, so if anyone is interested in some Arlen Ness Magnaflow Redline mufflers (#7200103) let me know.
