What to do?

[joediver1943]

I had 3 1/2" Rinehart's on my 2011. Really liked them. Since I plan on going to Alaska this year I'm afraid to change from Harley products because of the warranty issue.
Can I get a good sound from any of the Harley optional exhausts? Don't like the way it sounds stock. Second I see that some of the exhausts are 4". I have already installed the DK lifts but will I loose an extra 1/2" of clearance if I choose 4" mufflers.

I got the Fatshotz.. Good sound, tune able with discs, but they are 4 inch at the ends.

Leave it alone till you get back.

:Agree:

50 State legal, so no problems in Canada. Nice deep bass tone. But not noisy. I had the lift too. No problems getting the TG into and out of my trailer.

I would make that trip with the stock mufflers and then change when I got home. The stocks will burn out and sould a little better with time and miles, or at least mine did. Whatever you have on there will probably take a beating lift kit or not.

BTW - I'm a big fan of the Fatshotz too, ran them on my 2012 and loved the sound.

First, hope you have a great time on your trip to Alaska! We went in 2013 ( see Ride Report with lots of pics HERE )

On the exhaust, there are so many options. I've always run loud exhaust and never had a warranty issue because of them...not to say you won't.

Not sure how loud you want, take a listen to this vid-

You can get a real good (which is subjective) sound out of the stock exhaust, just remove the stock baffles and replace with Thunder Torque Inserts. You will end up with more power across the RPM band also.
