i have a 01 road king. it has the factory dual exhaust. i am trying get the bike to sound louder. it has aftermarket mufflers now that are louder than stock but do not give the sound i would like. it seems that the bikes that do not have the dual exhaust are louder and actually sound better. of course the exact type of mufflers make a big difference, but i am refering to aftermarket stuff not stock. so is there any recommendations on a muffler type that would really boost my sound. also what if i was to change my pipes to both exit on the right side instead of duals. would that help or is it just my imagination that those systems are louder.

I got pulled over and received a ticket for "muffler exceeding noise limits" violation. My question is: why is ok for a freakin' Harley motorcycle to have an exhaust that shakes the neighborhood and not a passenger vehicle that has been modified just a little bit that is bearly louder than stock?

Does any one have a suggestion for a low sounding replacement muffler for a 2005 ElectraGlide?
I'm looking for something that isn't much louder than the stock mufflers.

I have 2000 Fat Boy with brand new Samson Side Winder exhaust. While riding, I bottomed out and put a minor dent in the end of the muffler. Basically there is a small scrape on the bottom and the bottom exhaust end is not circular anymore.

Is there a good way to make the exhaust end round again, other than pounding it with a rubber mallet?
