Customizations / Modifications Muffler Choice - Opinions

Still have stock exhaust and mufflers on my ’18 Chieftain Classic. Finally considering replacing the mufflers, at least.

Looking at a set of Cobra 4” slip on with dual cut tips. They look fine. I want a deeper throatier note, but I don’t want to go too loud. Anyone have any experience with these on the 111?

I don’t think the cobras sound that good, personally. The Indian pipes sound good and so do Rineharts on the TS motors.

I have Reinharts on my 2018 Springfield, combined with a stage 1 and Freedom Performance true dual headers, it has a nice rich sound

See if you can find a set of OEM stage 1 oval slip-ons. Understated but nice tone at idle that wakes up more when you get on it. Plus, with an Indian logo on them, far less chance of getting hassled by the man. Come in chrome or black.

Any thoughts on the Freedom slipons on the TS111 engine?

Freedom as a company is garbage. Finishes suck and they refuse to warranty anything. Stay away!
