I have been looking at the Bassani and the Vance & Hines. I just want to do the slip on for now. Perhaps when or if I get a tax return changing out the air filter and having a Stage 1 done.
The V&H is not legal here in California. The Bassani is about $50.00 cheaper. I can't find any sound clips with the Bassani installed on a Street. The clips I have found are for V rods and Road Kings mostly. I figure the V rod may be a pretty good example.
I am now looking for the best price on the Bassani

Flamegirl, if you want to hear the SE, I'm a couple hours south of you. You're welcome to throw it on. I'm just using a gutted stock muffler.

When in doubt, especially at an early stage like this, you can always wait it out to see what other options we might have, I know that's something i'll be doing.

At least you get to ride. I have been riding in a snow plow truck the last couple of days.

Well, I pulled the trigger and purchase the Bassani straight exhaust. I will make sure I get before and after sound clips.
Sorry Solo750owner. I have seen the weather on the news. I think this has been one of the mildest winters that I can remember here in NorCal.

It actually sounds awesome without the baffle plate on the end of it. I actually wrote the review on the HD website
Agree though, its pretty weak with the plates on the end of it.
That would be great bud... I will be waiting for it.! Record the note with the best possible way..

Apart from the muffler sounding much more satisfying, have there been any noticeable changes in performance for better or for worse? Any noticeable change in average mpg? Do you have a high flow air intake and have you had a corresponding "download" aka reprogramming of the ECM? How many miles have you driven since you made the modification?It actually sounds awesome without the baffle plate on the end of it. I actually wrote the review on the HD website![]()

I ask because I have the SE nightstick and I am considering getting rid of the backplate myself....along with the ECM download from the dealership and a V&H's Air intake (so atleast the engine would for-the-most-part already to be set up for a further modification to overall airflow).

I received and installed the Bassani Straight Slip-on muffler last night. I like the new sound. As promised here is a before and after on the sound.

Thanks Flamegirl. I was contemplating between Firebrand and Bassani. Quite liked the Bassani and went ahead and ordered one from Revzilla. I now need to get it shipped to India from the local US address where it will arrive. Cheers for the youtube video link. Helped make up my mind.

Good job on capturing the sound from the exhaust. My cell phone recording didn't do it much justice. I like the sound of the Bassani and the Firebrand Loose cannon. I decided on getting the Firebrand and give it a shot. Just waiting for my loose cannon to be delivered from cruisercustoms.com
Which one did u get? Megaphone or straight can?
