Thanks for comparisons, I bought the Cobra NH's, mainly because of the price. Also not big on expensive designer tips, pretty but I believe in function 1st.

[@raptorman1891]

So how do you like the sound quality once you got them in person? And do you have stock headers and is your preference low grumble or high pitch ?

[@FrankTheGonzalez]

I went with the neighbor haters👍👍video does it no justice

[@geirjohnsen5190]

Neighbour Hater is the best sound, there is no doubt 👍😎

[@ALEXdaG]

Lost performance with them. I hated em

[@MAHGlie]

Ok, mine is a 103 road glide, not M8, but I have the full Rush Racing system. Ceramic coated catless header and Big Louie's. Sounds great but too loud for touring. Ear plugs help keep my hearing. The Kerker Stouts are more what I'd look to for hours on the road. Deep, mellow.

[@patherbert6684]

Nice job, lot of work. I went with the vance and Hines slash cut love the look and the sound!!

[@chadpost7153]

The Boneshakers sound the best to me. Would like to hear a comparison between them and the Tab Performance BAM sticks with Zombie baffles.

[@druggles96]

Loving the SVT Boneshakers

[@harleymike77]

I went with the Vance and Hines this time on my CVO Street Glide . All my previous Harleys had the Rineharts. Kind of a toss up between these two (for me).

[@bethcarr264]

SVT baby

[@eddiebenzz]

I'll take the Vance & Hines ...Oh wait , need the bike first ! Lol-

[@roadglideusmc]

From listening to about everything out there at bike nights I bought CFRs. That was 2 years ago. They were the deepest & loudest slip on imho. Now the SVT Boneshakers are the top dog. Ride safe

[@Hhhhhgggihgdd]

Mark , have you purchased the boneshakers ?

[@WTDOOR63]

Hope you went with true dual headers, a fuel management system, high air intake! It makes all the difference in the world in exhaust sound and most important- performance.

[@WTDOOR63]

Have to get other than stock headers to really wake up these slip- ons.. it’s makes a world of difference .

[@WestEndMotorsports]

We've re-tested all of them since we made this video. Those videos are on our channel as well.

[@tjmac1453]

Nice video. I went with the Cobra Neighbor hater pipes. They were loud but not to loud. They weren't mid life crisis I am compensating for something loud. LOL

[@gallor1able]

Cobra Race pros very nice and subtle plus deep base..

[@mobster7028]

So these are all slip on mufflers with stock exhaust??

[@harleydavidsonrideoutweert4050]

No doubt Kerker stouts

[@grayboo212]

02:05 That's the funniest shit I've seen in a long time. I'd laugh my ass off seeing that cruising down the road.

[@BLACKPIT33]

Very Nice

[@gabemccarty8128]

Bassani,svt and kerker stout!

[@cofoi]

Cobra Race Pro's or Kerker stouts? Hard choice.

[@FourQed]

cofoi gotta agree with you, they both sound great

[@fordnut4914]

Vh has to much raspy sound I like a deep mellow rumble the kirker seem to be the closest.

[@mikehammer2408]

I went with the SVT BONESHAKERS w V&H head pipes. If you want loud Boneshakers are it. Definitely loudest slip ons out there.

[@KingDeadPool11]

You honestly have to hear these in person. I have the Cobra Neighbor Haters on my '18 Street Bob, and they are very loud.

[@jamiehaggett5586]

My uncles got the Rineharts on his screaming eagle road king

[@jamesbare909]

You've done a fantastic job with the new platform. I've been following all of your clips sense I've had a Milwaukee 8 and so far the rush big Louie sounds best to me and it's what I was going to purchase from you, but I have decided to run a 2 into 1 when the time comes. Great job dude.

[@WestEndMotorsports]

Thanks James, we appreciate it. We might do some 2-1 testing over the winter, but let us know what you decide to go with, we sell almost every brand out there. Ride safe!

[@jamesbare909]

WestEndMotorsports how about sportster mufflers. Got my wife a 2016 883 and looking for the right mufflers.

[@WestEndMotorsports]

Just slip ons or full system?

[@jamesbare909]

WestEndMotorsports slip on muffler

[@corvetteboyz]

Great video. Which pipes are you running on your bike?

[@omarcaban9917]

What is the difference between cobras race pro 4.5 and the power flos 4.5?

[@ronmessico8012]

I got cobra black slip ons on my black fat bob. Not only do they sound and perform nice, but they look bad ass too.

[@cearacity9141]

Excelente vídeo. Serve para escutarmos o som de varios escapamentos e decidir o melhor para instalar na nossa motocicleta. Parabéns!!!

[@davianabel3381]

I know Im asking randomly but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me

[@cairoterrence654]

@Davian Abel Instablaster =)

[@richardanderson4916]

New sub!!

[@TonyHartzy]

Great vid!!

[@adamhowe8499]

When will you put out a video with headers

[@WestEndMotorsports]

Working on editing right now. Thanks Adam.

[@Steve-ob1on]

1.) Kirker Stouts. 2.) Cobra Race Pros.

[@gabbyhayes1568]

I've read a lot of conflicting statements about the Milwaukee Eight having to have a Pro Street Tuner addition even if all you're putting on are the slip-ons. Any validity to that statement? I've always heard that if you're not changing the air box or head pipes a retune isn't required.

[@Hhhhhgggihgdd]

Gabby Hayes if you're just putting on slip ons you don't need a tuner BUT if you change the headpipe then you need a tuner.

[@Kashmirknight]

I put slip ons on my 2019, street glide (114) and I would say it could use a tune afterward.

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

Neighbor Haters hands down sound the best in this shoot out.

[@나이스유진]

Two questions asked :-)Which slip-ons are fitted with the first test ride on the video?I would recommend the mufflers from the top 1 to the top 3 that you personally prefer.

[@WestEndMotorsports]

Did you mean the intro part? If so, those are the SVT boneshakers. We'll thinking about doing some ranking after all the results are in, but some pipes are just better fits for certain people's preferences. Thanks for commenting!

[@rider14mcd63]

They all sound good. Which ones don't pop on decel?

[@WestEndMotorsports]

If your bike is tuned correctly, none of them should pop.

[@rider14mcd63]

I agree, I thought your video said stock air filter, and stock headers. I was taking that would be stock tune. If we are in warranty, a tune outside of HDs will void it. They all sound great by the way, thanks for the trial on all of them. Which ones did you like best?

[@WestEndMotorsports]

​@@rider14mcd63 They're like my children, I couldn't pick a favorite. At least not publicly.

[@leonardhadley3820]

Cobra neighbor haters sound good.

[@bluec-ledge8296]

skip to 1:25

[@jeffkuykendall2775]

Is there a reason you never show Thunderheader exhaust system and do they make them to go on the M8's?

[@WestEndMotorsports]

We don't sell them Jeff, so that would be why. Let us know if you have any other questions and thanks for reaching out.

[@jodymcclure1300]

Why no Thunderheader slip ons?

[@WestEndMotorsports]

We don't carry Thunderheader. Sorry Jody.

[@daryllect6659]

I'm pretty sure I heard you go by - *_GUDDA GUDDA GUDDA drip BLAT! VROOM! VROOM! drip BLAT! POP! GUDDA GUDDA GUDDA drip VROOM! BLORT! BLAT! drip VROOOM! VROOM! POP! BLAT!! drip BLORT! VROOM!

[@kevincrookshanks2896]

mike, what is the loudest best sounding slip on you have come across? in the market for new mufflers....I have a 17 road glide ultra with the screaming eagle cannons and cant stand them, its like having factory exaust! i want deep loud ones

[@WestEndMotorsports]

Hey! Give us a call at 1-800-520-8525 and feel free to ask for Mike. We always like to ask a few questions so we can get you with the best pipe, the first time around.

[@bobclapper2672]

Hey MIKE what would you recommend to get a Milwaukee 8 up to 100 hp/110 torque ? I would wanna go with V&H

[@WestEndMotorsports]

Go with the V&H power duals, HO Slip ons, FP3, air intake and the S&S 465 cams. With just the cams, stage one breather, and slip ons S&S had about 95hp and 115 ft lbs. With headers and the right tune, it will be even better. Give us a call at 1-800-520-8525 and ask for Mike so we can put a package price together for you.

[@bobclapper2672]

where are you located Mike ??

[@WestEndMotorsports]

We're located in Eastern Pennsylvania, a few miles south of Pocono Raceway.

[@tylerfj24]

Mike if I were to put everything on with the Arlen Ness Big Sucker (as my air intake, FP3, power Duals, Ho Slips, BUT DID NOT change my cams. would my numbers still get close to those? Im more interested in TQ than HP anyway but the more the better on both right? haha

[@Sandppy]

Your audio is in mono, hard to get good feel for the exhaust in mono. The can opening between exhaust is in stereo

[@WestEndMotorsports]

We're aware. It took us a while to figure it out and a fair bit of money, but it turns out it was our Mic cable. What's worse is there was another cable here that is the right one. All the videos going we film now will be in stereo and we might re-do some of the heavy hitters so people listening with their headphones get it in both ears.

[@groover4293]

What's the best performance mufflers but?

[@rafdecc]

where in Penn are you guys?? I'm in S;outhern NJ 35 miles south of Philly WEAR YOUR GLOVES AND LEATHER DUDE:)

[@WestEndMotorsports]

We're up near the Poconos. Not riding today, or anytime soon for that matter.

[@manuelperales5256]

Can't hear audio on your videos bro

[@michaelgordon6322]

Why all the smoke? That can't be normal.

[@WestEndMotorsports]

It was 28 when we made some of those videos, it's just from the cold. The bike is all good, runs like a scalded dog!

[@tomsreviews238]

Bottom line is that the 107, does not sound as good as the 103 or the even the 1202 EVO!

[@WestEndMotorsports]

Do you happen to have one of those bikes Tom? I think if you check out our videos with the headers/cam instaklled you'll change your tune.

[@tomsreviews238]

I have owned several twin cams and Sportsters. I am commenting on the sound produced using just slip-ons as you are demonstrating in this video. Now you suggest installing an entire new exhaust and cams. That's a little expensive just to get a better note out of the exhaust!

[@WestEndMotorsports]

When you remove the catalytic converter from the M8s, the sound is comparable if not better than any stock twin cam on the market. The single cam makes it sound more like an EVO. So when you say the M8 just does not sound as good, it's not accurate. Also, how many twin cams sound as good as an EVO? How many twin cams sound as good as a Shovel? The answer is zero. Every HD motor has changed the sound and your perception of good seems to depend almost completely on which motor you own or have owned. You don't have to install a cam, but installing a whole exhaust on a Harley of any model is far more common than leaving them stock. It's part and parcel with owning a HD. Not everyone does it obviously, but people have been modifying the sound of Harleys for a very, very long time so it's not a hardship. The M8 not only sounds excellent once opened up, but the potential for performance increases with very basic modifications is absolutely enormous.

[@tommy-jy5ig]

Nothing says - 'trailer trash' - like a loud exhaust.

[@fredzephire4071]

WOOOW that really hurts, people who ride "Nifty 50's' usually say that. FYI you never start a sentence with "and".

[@wayneplatt1975]

WOW, Thanks I think that that has to be the most offensive thing I've heard today. Ass wipe.

[@markj6506]

?

[@bobbylight141]

Loud pipes save lives. I'd rather be heard so people know there is a motorcycle there and can not hit me

[@tomb.8485]

I bet you go up to a lot of bikers and tell them that, right?

[@MilesNauticus]

again mono sound record...
