Screamin Eagle
04/14/08 at 08:11:41

I'm thinking of putting a screamin eagle muff on my bike but im a little worried about the volume. I listened to the sound files posted in another thread here, and it sounds great, but how loud is it? I dont want to shake houses when I drive by.... nothing wrong with that, I just dont think I have the attitude for it.

Anyone know if this thing is super loud?

The SE has a good sound, loud but not obnoxious. And it gives a good performance boost. But it starts to grate on you on a long trip and I want something a little less loud, so I found a Dyna muff on ebay for $1.

I know the Dyna's are bolt up, Sportsters work but you need to watch which model. On some there is a balancer (is that what it's called?) pipe inlet/outlet to link the two exhausts together. 1 3/4" works..... Good luck...

Latimer,
$75 may be a bit high, but the Screaming eagle is a desirable model for the Harley guys.

That looks like a Sportster muffler. You may want to search eBay for "dyna muffler"

Click --> Dyna Muffler

Also, see my post on my loud conversion to see how the Dyna just bolts on:

I think I bought mine from the same guy, D-Z Custom. (He has a lot of savage stuff...is he one of us?) Anyway, the product was good and it wasn't too hard to mount. HOWEVER, mine blued something bad right away. You need to make sure you take your time mounting it. Make sure have it on tight with no leaks, and that you have cleaned off your greasy finger prints BEFORE you ever start your engine with it on.

Wonder if thats going to be a big deal. I actually have already rejetted (150, 50), done the spacer mod, and have my mixture screw drilled out. So I dont have to worry about that.

Cheap. Wrapped around the stock mount and bolted through the muffler.
