Slip ons for Cycle Shack PHD-115TO???

[Sitting Duck]

Need help with this one. I've been emailing a multitude of manufacturers in an attempt to quiet my bike down. The all say they can't help me. Including Cycle Shack. I would like to cut the above pipes off at the start of the muffler and attach some type of quiet slip on baffled mufflers.

The bike is a 1977 Superglide FXE. Anyone have any experience with thirty year old shovels? I'll even buy a new system if I can get one around the 80-85 db range.

Suggestions or am I SOL. Help! I'm tired of surfing!

Thanks, for the reply.

I'm a lookin' under exhausts.

A set of stock sportster mufflers will work just fine.

i had cycle shack slash cuts on my '89 FLHTC but after 2 yrs even i couldn't stand the sound, db around 140,,,i cut the pipes and slid on stock sporty mufflers but then it was TOO quiet,,sounded like a Vesper,,,cycle shack headers should be one and three quarter inch diameter and most Harley slip ons will fit,,,,good luck

Same problem. Got a 1980 Superglide and need to quiet it down. Where did you pick up the stock sporty mufflers? Is there a specific year that works?

Thanks

Shovels have 1-3/4" exhaust pipes, so any HD mufflers will fit.

The issue is going to be where the mufflers have a stability mount that supports one muffler to the other.

You don't *need* to have that support there, but the stock cans are heavy and should be placed as close to a mount as possible.

You can find stock cans on Ebay for next to nothing. Pop out the center plyg (Baffelectomy-I thread in the exhaust section) and you'll have a nice rumble and still be in a lod dB level.

I love shovels....great bikes.

You can also buy V&H Straightshots and use their V&H Quiet baffles. I have a set for sale (both) that I posted up in another thread.....

With the quiet baffles, the pipes sounded like stock mufflers, with no mods.
