Good luck selling it she is a beauty just sound like there's trouble in the idle Am I wrong, or do they not understand the thumper?

The stock exhaust is so quiet that the top end noise from a bike that is perfectly fine.overpowers the exhaust sound when you're standing next to the bike listening to it run. And these are pretty noisy engines anyway compared to a lot of bikes.

Reply #5 - 05/06/16 at 07:51:36 The stock muffler can sure whistle like a VW. The Dyna sounds good, looks great, is cheap and readily available, usually a simple swap. Depends on how stuck your current one is. Getting a right looking heat shield isn't really easy.
