Thee_oddball Posted March 10, 2021 #1 Posted March 10, 2021 I have watched a lot of videos over the last week with people who are using the OEM Harley exhaust on their royal stars, has anyone here done that and what are you thoughts.
RDawson Posted March 10, 2021 #2 Posted March 10, 2021 Lots of opinions about exhaust. To me it’s a touring bike and the radio should be louder than the pipes, I listen to it up to 16 hours some days.
Pro procrastinator Posted March 10, 2021 #3 Posted March 10, 2021 Im not sure what would fit but national cycle has peacemaker mufflers that go from baffled to straight pipe with the flip of a switch. Have to find out what model harley would switch over.
Dbarbee Posted March 12, 2021 #4 Posted March 12, 2021 The 2006 RSV I bought last December had Harley Davidson mufflers on it when I bought it. (I assume they came off of a Road King) Compared to the Baron mufflers on had on the 2005 I rode before I bought the 2006 I like the sound of the HD mufflers much better. The Baron’s were a little harsh and loud out of the box. Wrapping some fiberglass packing around the baffles on the Baron’s helped but it still wasn’t the deep sound I was looking for. The HD mufflers sound great with a nice low rumble that’s not too loud. 1
Coyote251 Posted March 12, 2021 #5 Posted March 12, 2021 There are a bunch of threads on here about this, below is a link to one I had started last year. I bought a set of Ultra Glide pipes to put on my 2005 RSTD, but haven't done it yet. You need to make a bracket (cost me 40$ to get them cut) so the exhaust will bolt up, or some guys use P-Clamps. Also, HD put the catalytic converter in the left pipe of some years (2010 - present I believe), so you want to make sure that you get a set without that. I can let you know how it turns out when I'm done. 1
eagleeye Posted March 12, 2021 #6 Posted March 12, 2021 I have a set of slash cut road kings on my 05 RSTD. @Squidly used to make brackets years ago so I'd see if he agrees that the dimensions above will work, but you do need a bracket of some sort to bolt them on. I believe mine came off of an 06. I love the sound, not too harsh, but like has been said a nice rumble. Mine did have the catalytic converter, but I drilled it out. I also drilled out the baffles. Good luck 1
