Interesting. I'd be curious as to the sound.

That's the great thing about buying pipes for a Harley, every model has a sound recording so you can here it BEFORE you order it.

Called them up and he said this is as close to it as it should sound, he couldn't find a clip either but his neighbor has one he said and sounds great. I do like this sound.

Difference will be he doesn't have a suitcase muffler. My 11 charger comes with factory x pipe so adding mufflers and removing the resonators makes it hum.

Sorry, I don't think that sounds good at all, I think my stock R/T sounds deeper than that.

That is an AXLE back system. It is well made although I would tend to Magnaflow route instead because I know their sound after a few thousand miles

I have had my magnaflow system on for about 3k miles and it has just begun to open up. Loved it new and love it now. No drone and sounds awesome out the back when on the go pedal.

This is the route I have been leaning. I have ran Magnaflow systems in the past and they are damn nice. I just have a hard time pulling out SS and replacing with SS. If the stock system was alum then it would be a no brainer. I also would be interested in running the Magnaflow mufflers your posted in your other thread.

In my opinion the Magnaflow cat back is just not enough of a difference from stock to change (They basically add two resonators behind the cats to replace the suitcase, which is a resonated muffler). If you want to run Magnaflows there are a bunch of options. X pipe it to two mufflers out to the tips.....replace the suitcase with a true x Magnaflow muffler and run straight out to tips......go true dual (if you plan on any power adders down the road) and run straight off the cats to two Magnaflows to the tips. Bunch of options, just depends on what you want to spend, the performance you want and the sound you are looking for. A 20" muffler casing will not give you a much greater sound than factory.....a 14" makes a huge difference in sound.
