I have RCX 4.5" with the RCX header I bought from these guys based on their recomnendation. They sound fantastic and look tough. Deep exhaust note, loud enough to hear it but I can still hear my stereo. Highly recommend this set up and West End Motorsports.
@@charlesspidell1447 No they don't Charles. You may not like them or they may not be loud enough, but these slip ons all sound different from each other, never mind stock.
Iv'e got the Cobra NH with S&S headers in the rear. The gear drive cams change the sound for LOUD! That and a new S&S big bore kit. The cams though definitely make the pipes a lot louder.
Mike @ WestEnd Motorsports, alot of folks like my self have twin cam 103 motors. What's the best 2.1.2 header and muffler combo in your opinion. Some of my likes are , S&S mk's, RCX 4.5, Rush Fat Louie's,. Arlen Ness MagnaFlow, and freedom performance, Rinehart motopros
Great video as usual. I’m installing a set of TAB BAM STICKS with Zombie baffles on my 2019 CVO Road GLIDE tomorrow. I can’t wait to hear how there are going to sound with the 117 M8 motor.
K. Cimoli Please report back. I’m thinking of putting them on my 18 CVO but worried that the Zombie baffles will be too loud. I’m thinking of getting the 2.5” baffles but worried they will not be much different to stock. Decisions decisions 😀
@@bav114 The 2.5s are definitely louder than stock, but probably half way between stock and the zombie baffles. The cool thing about the tabs is that if you did get the Zombie baffles and found them to be too loud, you could always swap for the 2.5 later.
Dave Bavister I had the same worries when deciding on which baffle. I went with the Zombies because I’m leaving the cats in. If I was going with a cat delete I probably would of went with the 2.5 baffles. I was not nervous going with the zombies because if I thought they were to loud you can order the 2.5 baffles for under $100.00. That being said I could not be more happy with the zombies. They are loud when you want them to be, but when cruising at any speed they are quite. Crack the throttle and they come alive. Pull the trigger you will love them.
I just bought a 2019 Road Glide Special 6/1/19. If I install Cobra NH on stock headers do I need a heavy breather or a re-mapping? Secondly once I am ready for full stage one upgrade what head pipes do you recommend? (I was thinking maybe V&H Power Duals) BTW I live in Las Vegas if that makes a difference about the mapping or tuning.........
With just slip ons you don't need to do anything else. We recommend the RCX Tormentors, they performed better than other headers and the design is very clean.
Hi, i just purchased a 2019 Streetglide Special and as you know, the stock sound is garbage. Im just trying to get a little deeper rumble to be heard with just a pair of slip on mufflers. I plan to do myself to save some money and dont have much knowledge about Cams and Headers thst you speak of; but learning. Just to get started, can you suggest just a slip on for now with upgrade possible in the future?
Sorry Gary, but we're not running anything with no baffle and neither should you. If you want a straight pipe sound that still performs well and doesn't destroy your performance, the TAB zombie baffle is basically a small diameter straight pipe. It's barely a baffle.
Everything in this video besides the Rush pipes were done with the RCX tormentor header pipes. It's the only way to tell how the muffler actually sounds at full potential.
WestEndMotorsports seeing Harley dealerships are always pushing screaming eagle street cannons it’s strange to not see them on your list. Also it’s obvious you had a cam change to elevate the potato potato sound.
On a 19'street glide special, what would be, in your opinion, the best headers to maximize the noise potential with TAB BAM's? I want to go that route. Lead me brother. Thanks!
We run the RCX tormentors and that's what's coupled with them in that video. They are far and away our best seller with the TABs and the feedback is always very good.
@@WestEndMotorsports MIKE i was the guy that spoke to you about 2 weeks ago about switching over to the supertrapp off of the tormentors and i have the tab zombies. I switched over, i think the sound is better and louder, not much but maybe just a bit. with a powervision tune, you were right, i was very happy with my supertrapps.. Ride is great and didnt lose anything. ill let you release the info soon enough. really appreciate the great advice. love the new setup and the look of the stock shields now.
@@tylerfj24 That's awesome Tyler and thanks for the feedback. We always hope our recommendations are on the money, but it's awesome to hear that they were. Thanks for taking the time to let us know and enjoy!
Cobra neighbor haters, is that with STOCK head pipes or aftermarket? I’m seeing mixed reviews on them. Some say not much louder than stock M8 mufflers and others say they are way louder. Can only watch so many TH-cam videos to get comparisons they are all starting to sound the same lol
That is with aftermarket headers. Keep in mind that outside of the Boneshakers and TABS with zombie baffles, almost no mufllers are in the "pretty loud" range on a stock header. If you want loud and want to keep the stock header, those two should be where you focus. That's why they're our top two best sellers.
I have the Cobras on my '18 bagger with stock header to keep the warranty. I can switch back to stock in 20 minutes. They are loud enough when you put on 800 miles plus in a day.
I just put a ss475 cam on my bike and the Zombie baffles literally doubled in volume. I had to run the right side as zombie and the left at their 2.5 louvored to keep the headache away when riding...
They're coming. We're waiting for a prototype headpipe from one manufacturer who has been dealing with some delays. One more manufacturer decided to send us a 2-1 so that video will be delayed a bit. Plus we want them all to be new and fresh in the spring when people are really shopping.
I can't help sayin' most of these remind me of when I was a kid and I used to attach a clothespin with a piece of cardboard to my bicycle forks so the cardboard would get hit by the bicycle spokes. Most of these sounded terrible. Of all of these the #8 Bassani DNT sound the best to my old hearing impaired ears. I had a set of V&H Pro SS Competition 2>1 on my 120R FLHX and the V&H sounded better than any of these 10 of these sets.
I was surprised they didn't make it, but I think the problem is that they have too many part numbers. We don't sell one number over and over again like we do with these other mufflers. The High outputs and twin slash were just outside the top 10 range for us.
I have the Rinehart 4" on my 2014 Indian Chief and they sound so much better than the Harley, i find that to me, a Harley always sound like it struggles to stay running and sounds like it wants to stall, i just dont like the sound of a Harley and the Rinehart's sound so much better on my Indian
This video is what convinced me to order the bam sticks and I even ordered them from your website just for having this video up
great videos. very helpful. tab zombies for the win! thanks!
Great demonstration, thank you.
I had 4 " Rinehart on my last bike , loved the sound .
I have RCX 4.5" with the RCX header I bought from these guys based on their recomnendation. They sound fantastic and look tough. Deep exhaust note, loud enough to hear it but I can still hear my stereo. Highly recommend this set up and West End Motorsports.
Awesome Steve, love hearing that!
The #8 Bassani DNT sounds wickedly deep!!!! how much for those slip ons?
I think this made my mind up... I like the Bassani DNTs. Deep kickass sound without being obnoxious. Thanks for doing the comparison!
Hey happy to help! Thanks for watching Jason and let us know if you have any other questions.
@@WestEndMotorsports I certainly will let you know! Thanks again!
Sounds like stock
@@charlesspidell1447 No they don't Charles. You may not like them or they may not be loud enough, but these slip ons all sound different from each other, never mind stock.
Best sound video for slip on comparison. Thaks for sharing

TAB BAM Sticks w/ Zombie Baffles my SGS sounds amazing.
i’ve got the basani header and boneshakers on my 18 rgs and love the sound
That's definitely a great set up too Nate.
I went with tab bam sticks 4 1/2... Best pipes ever 😁👍🏿👍🏿
I got the 4.5 rineharts on a 2019 roadglide special 114. They sound really good. Louder and deeper than stock but not hey look at me obnoxious.
That's exactly how we would describe them as well. Glad to hear you got the right pipe for your preference.
Tab w/Zombie baffles are the GREATEST I have had. They sound so wonderful. If that is what you want, then get them...GET LOUDER!!
Thomas Miller they sound like shit
Agreed Best out there..
Didnt see which head pipe you used in the video or cam selection
What tuner or cam are you using for demo,I have new slip ons and tuner but no potato
One thing to mention is there are a lot of nice sounding mufflers to chose from, wasn’t always the case.
those svt boneshaker sound great.
Do you have any videos comparing 2 into 1s?
Are you using an Aftermarket Header or Stock Headers??
Great video as usual. I’m installing a set of TAB BAM STICKS with Zombie baffles on my 2019 CVO Road GLIDE tomorrow. I can’t wait to hear how there are going to sound with the 117 M8 motor.

Rush Big Louie and Reinhardts for me.
A video like this but for Sporster will be very helpfull.
Noticed some of these pipes shifted around quite a bit. Was this due to clamps not being fully tightened?
They are just throwing them on there for us to hear. No reason to tighten them all the way down.
You test Krome Works slip ons?
I just bought a 2019 Road Glide Special 6/1/19. If I install Cobra NH on stock headers do I need a heavy breather or a re-mapping?

Bought TAB with Zombie baffles. Too loud for my likes. They look awesome so I'm going with different baffles inside!
I chose the rineharts 4"

So you just want a little deeper in tone? What type of volume increase are you looking for?
Love those boneshakers the zombie sound good would like to hear them without the baffle, where are the cfr's?
Sorry Gary, but we're not running anything with no baffle and neither should you. If you want a straight pipe sound that still performs well and doesn't destroy your performance, the TAB zombie baffle is basically a small diameter straight pipe. It's barely a baffle.
No Thunderheader?
No vh twin slash?
Where all these pipes tested with a stock header and stock cam or have things been done to him other than the slip on

Were these samples taken stock aside from the slip on?
Many are with the RCX Tormentors and an S&S 465C cam, but not all. Was there a specific one you liked?

Seems like some of these clips have cams and headpipes while some are bone stock with only slip ons.
I agree Cody. Not an apples to apples comparison.
BONESHAKERS!!!
Zombie sold!
Like saying which oil is best...
It's our sales numbers so it's more like saying which oil is the best selling.
Big Louie’s,Cobra,and boneshakers,not necessarily in that order.
Love my Zombies. Cant wait to ditch the stock Cat' and throw a nice cam behind them
I just put a ss475 cam on my bike and the Zombie baffles literally doubled in volume. I had to run the right side as zombie and the left at their 2.5 louvored to keep the headache away when riding...
For some reason the videos from this channel only come through one of my ear buds. Trying to get the most realistic sound.
How about the magnaflow Hitman 4.5 pipes, they sound pretty nice would be good to hear them against these.
We'll definitely get them in one of our comparisons, but they aren't a top 10 seller for us so they didn't make the cut.

I would have thought CFR would make this list easily in the top 5.......
We don't sell CFR, so they aren't on our list.
What! No Vance and Hines?
nope too quiet TAB is the pick
I was surprised they didn't make it, but I think the problem is that they have too many part numbers. We don't sell one number over and over again like we do with these other mufflers. The High outputs and twin slash were just outside the top 10 range for us.
@@radcliffleslie4397 I like the S&S 45's the best. But hell they all sounds great.

@@WestEndMotorsports thank you for answering that.
@@lngleg You got it, let us know if you have any questions.
Can’t hear any sound except for beer can opening
CFR? Gold wing rider made this list.
That's my bike in the video, clearly not riding a Gold Wing. We simply don't carry CFR, so they're not one of our best sellers.
Love my cobra neighbor haters
Damn, two brothers didn’t make the list....
Not one of our top 10, so they didn't make it. Stay tuned and maybe they'll show up in another comparison.
Agree. My semi d favorite exhaust for these. They sound BAD ASS
You do realize that everyone who watches these are not in thier 20 please chang the color of products name seriously thankz
SVT Boneshakers for me all the way!!! Check my channel out I have a few videos of them on my 2017 M8
i'm an avid follower. i love the videos, as always. but i cannot stand the soda can opening sound on each video transitioning. it's really annoying.
It's not a soda can Julius.
soda can or not, apparently my point didn't get across. smh..
@@WestEndMotorsports thousands of people like the can opening sound, 1 don't.. Smh...

We will, this is to help give you an idea of how each pipe compares to one another in a consistent and controlled situation.
