Milwaukee 8 Slip-on Exhaust Shoot Out

Choosing the right exhaust may seem like an intimidating job, but we are here to help you with our Slip-On Exhaust Shoot Out. J&P Cycles is here to help you through the process of choosing the right exhaust and the right sound for your ride. In this slip-on exhaust sound shoot out, we installed Slip-On exhausts from Rinehart, Tab Performance, Vance & Hines, Crusher and S&S on our 2017 Touring Model. Most Slip-Ons can be installed in 20 minutes or less and do not require an air/fuel update. All these pipes are available for your 1995-2017 Touring Model Harley Davidson motorcycles.

First set of Vance and Hines were the best sounding

[@kevinarmstrong751]

Rinehart's sound the best , I've had Vance & Hines and Rinehart .

[@gpod63]

I have the full V&H system on my Street Glide, hiflo intake filter and dyno tuned gave me 110 foot pound of talk and 100 hp, very happy with my ride!

[@cjmorris6831]

I have Vance & Hines slip ons on my 2019 Street Glide but those Vance & Hines high output sounded pretty good too!

[@semiprofessional8470]

Man that was a lot of work. Much appreciated. Vance and Hines have always sounded best to me but they all have their own look and sound.

[@donaldsoncole3095]

Sharp performance with enough time spent per product, Thanks!!!

[@carlloud1187]

Tough choice. They all sounded awesome! Finally went with V&H HI Outputs on my 2020 Street Glide. Had V&H Longshots in the past on my Softails and Softail Heritage. Also had Rineharts on my Road King. Great video!

[@manslayerlord]

Them crushers sounded so good

[@edwardweiszbeck1649]

Awesome comparison. A lot of work on your part so thanks very much !

[@tomcatcv6214]

Yep, that head pipe did the trick. Sounded so much better.

[@duicop25]

Great video... The catless headers make a huge difference... The Rineharts sound great as always but that new style does not look as good to me... S&S MK45 sounds and looks great...

[@alwayslookin73]

Great companion, this helps a lot trying to decide on new exhaust. Thanks guys 😎

[@larzman651]

Vance and hines sounded the best

[@Crowbar381]

Rineharts were a standout. So much bass and warmth but not muddy sounding and when you rev them they have a solid meaty bark !

[@guyh.4121]

Rineharts have by far the best baffle system. Best sound too. I’m looking to get them.

[@boxofmoles4057]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. My vote is for Vance & Hines Power Duals

[@anthonymartin8769]

Thanks for all the work, very much appreciated.

[@Ed.Johnson]

I listened to the video the second time with a good set of headphones. Recommend that over the speakers on a laptop or any other device. Big difference in the sound.

[@h3r63rt]

I play this on my car stereo loud enough for people in the Tim’s drive through to hear. Lady at the take out window says the V&H sound the best.

[@bikerbaadani]

I got 4.5in tab performance zombie baffles slip ons on my 2014 ultra limited with stock headers and they sound AMAZING!!!!!

[@pmdinaz]

should've used a static mounted dB meter at both locations, gives a better idea of volume. I love these videos, i just wish the sound level was measured, along with the subjective sound tests that us viewers will 'hear' on our side. Thanks for putting in all that work swapping these out!

[@MrHasie]

Thanks Pauly.

[@bbgdaddy5198]

Thank you!!!! Very helpful.

[@dynaholica4274]

The Vance and Hines sound the cleanest with the headers

[@FourQed]

excellent video, thank you so very much

[@joec2174]

M8 is an animal all to its own. The four valve heads changed the Harley sound. The counterbalance changed the Harley feel. Drill out the cats and save your money !!

[@bagdad9782]

Have Rhinehart slip-ons. Plenty of low-rumble for me because I like the sound of my music more than pipes and these pipes fit the bill. Be interested in Tab though. Good vid. Thanks!

[@ahmedasqool5958]

Power duals 👍👍👍

[@NICK_KIRAK]

Thanks a lot. Best regards to You.

[@lieutenantAldo]

Any slip ons with a deep rumbling sound is good for me.

[@jimblackbird5678]

I think I like Rinehart

[@ed0985587]

Conclusion - All better than stock HD exhaust!

[@beeyondsr20det]

That was my thoughts exactly. I went with Tab Performance slip ons , everything else is stock, gave me plenty of grumble compared to stock. Couldn't be happier. In my opinion, getting the best sounding pipe with stock headers seems like a bigger accomplishment than replacing the entire exhaust.

[@Donfleebie1]

I think the stock pipes on the M8 sound pretty darn good, especially after a 4 or 5 hundred mile day.😜

[@ed0985587]

Donfleebie1 If you like quiet, I guess it’s ok. It just sounded like shredded paper blowing around to me. I installed a stage 1 finally with bassani road rage and I prefer it much more. It just sounds more like a Harley to me.

[@Donfleebie1]

The stock pipes on an M8 sound better than stock on a TC. I go back and forth. I have SE Street Cannons I run for a year or so, then go back to stock, and so forth. The FP3 allows me to do this. My 2012 FLHTK ran super lean from the factory, and finally got tired of the heat and the pinging, and the FP3 solved this issue. I think I will get rid of that fn cat though, by either head pipes, or having it cut out.

[@alpha13dylan]

I actually really like the stock exhaust, its quiet at idle and sounds good when you twist the throttle. I hate annoying Harley riders. So all of you with zoomie headers on your bike, you are just annoying. All of these sound the same.

[@edmundwasilewski]

M8, SGS, Screamin eagle street canons, Rocket 444 torque cams, very chirpy after the cam was fitted.

[@gerrymiller7401]

V&H X pipe (power duals) with V&H Torquer 450s will get you a deep, throaty sound thats hard to beat - specifically designed/tuned to be used together.

[@uniformguy751151]

I love that combination

[@Blackbeltjiujitsu]

is it a good idea to put slip[ ons and then put a tune on the bike for an M8? will this make the nike run even better?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Any performance comparisons? I mean, they all sound pretty good. Anything but the stock pipes and slip ons. But what ones pull the best?

[@jpcycles]

As stated in the video, there isn't any noticeable power difference from one set of slip ons to the next, but there was a big difference with the head pipe change.

[@benspears3621]

What baffles are in the tab bam stick?

[@SuperAfeliciano]

They are measuring all the Vance and Hines from the same angle and the others from a different angle. Really!

[@toddmcmahon2648]

Yeah, I thought that was bullshit too. maybe they get a kick back if they sell/install more V&H over the others demonstrated here

[@larryj8924]

They may have a higher % of profit on VH, but the test should have been done same, not much help this way.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

They are probably corporate shills...

[@uniformguy751151]

'21 CVO SG with V&H Power Duals and V&H TORQUER 450s. Sounds great without being obnoxious on the highway.

Does anybody have a good suggestion for head pipes to pair with CFR slip on's? 2021 ST Special

[@chrisswank7318]

TAB all the way. I get a lot of complaints on mine

[@scrumthebum2451]

S&S definitely sounded best imo. Should have used dresser duals for a real sound test😎

[@vanceburks5323]

So, remove stock headpipe removes the cat?

[@wunder8962]

Maybe you should do the test the same way next time

[@darrenrainey2294]

CORRECT VANCE & HINES EVEN BIG RADIUS SOUND BETTER ASWELL ON THEM..BAFFLES OUT..

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

The stock sounds better than the crappy Cobras that came on my 2019

[@fxrst_anvers6976]

Bassani ?

[@dennism103]

Stock is the clear winner...

[@rickharris323]

Did you use a catted or uncatted version of the Power Duals for this comparison?

[@jpcycles]

cat model

[@christopherlewis3494]

Did the tab performance have the zombie baffles? Makes a huge difference depending upon which baffle setup you go with. For about $550.0 the tab's with the zombie baffles are hard to beat.

[@carolinarider5237]

I like the Tabs as well.

[@willnot3297]

S + S....Then Crusher

[@willnot3297]

Pauly, I'm ordering Full Boar 2 1/2 in. slip on from JP cycle for my 97 FLHRI king. Do I need to tune if I put these on.???....

[@dustynwilliams7816]

No, you won’t find a tuner or anyone to tune it anyway. Early fuel injection is garbage

[@scottramsay4041]

Please tell me what helmet Pauly was wearing.

[@robrobster1814]

none of the slip ons need a tuner?

[@rafdecc]

i have a question about the header pipes. If I am correct, they are 1 3/4 OD, same as stock headers. I had the cat removed professionally, which gave me 14 more h p with stage 3 Harley slash downs. Bikes with this set up were dyno'd so the hp is real. I could feel the difference. That is my question, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?" I installed a Screaming Eagle Stage One induction on my 2010 Ultra Elect Glide, 96 c i. and it really rocks. I HAVE NO TUNER NO BACK FIRING. Instead of spending thousands I spent 159 from Harley for the stage one induction, 123 for the other work. I LIKE V H PRODUCTS AND THEY RUN A MEAN DRAG HARLEY. THANKS THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK DOING THIS VIDEO KUDOS, GOD BLESS.

Why change locations on the V&H?

[@wolfemanbog4176]

What fuel programmer did u guys ???

[@jpcycles]

[@RocaRiders]

V&H is the best

[@richardmoorer2668]

Try Khrome Werks

[@brendanskaggs]

2017 Road Glide. I cut out the bafffles. To me it sounds deep. No header change. No popping. Great throttle response remains IMO. Cost=5.00 and an hour changing those damn cheap grinding discs but the cost difference why not try it before spending 400.00 on slip-ons? Personal opinion the stock exhaust with no baffles and yet still keep the catalytic converter for backflow sounded better. I mean it's an open pipe....it doesn't sound "can-ney" to me but wish they would have compared that but that's not how "they" make money,,,,,,

[@spaceman83]

Do I need a fuelpak if I put new headpipes

[@gpod63]

Yes

[@dustynwilliams7816]

Fuelpak is junk, get a real tuner

[@Donfleebie1]

FP3 is not "junk" ! But it works very well for most people.

[@eddierobinson3711]

Which baffle was used in the TAB Bam?

[@jpcycles]

We used the Zombie baffle

[@WarPig1911]

Can y'all fix my Buell? ha

[@briannewman2850]

Will void warranty?!?!?!!

[@aaroncatalano8645]

Yes. Any non HD factory exhaust/air filter will void the warranty. Had to wait till warrant expired.

[@CactusJack252]

the head pipe will if there is no cat in it. it is mainly up to the dealer though.

[@brettfischer7782]

It's stickier than that. Technically, yes. However, all dealerships do it. Usually they'll tell you, "if you have the work done here, your bike will be safe here.". The trouble comes in when you travel. If something breaks and it's because of the work done with aftermarket parts, you could be in trouble. A different dealership might flag your VIN with Harley and void your 2 year warranty. However, like I said all dealerships do it so there's a good chance they won't tell on somebody else's customer because... Well, plain and simple, it's bad business. On a side note, my dealership explained that extended warranties can sometimes help with these if the updates are some when you purchase the bike.

[@joshrandall5297]

My dealer says slipons won't void the warranty. Changing the headpipe will.

[@marinareyes9824]

why did you not start all of them from the same spot?

[@randomchannel4886]

Anyone pull out the packing?

[@jpcycles]

no, pulling the packing would negatively affect the performance of the mufflers.

[@superglidemustang]

I thought that the Amish couldn't mess with motorcycles. jk

[@ellissmithjr6599]

After about the third time somewhere there,I was confused to as what are we doing here?...it seemed to be repetitive as always ending up being V&H and all sounding the same 🤔🙄... When was the stock and then the slip-on's and it was always getting back to the Vance&Hines🤔🙄...which was supposed to be stock and which were slip-on's🤔🙄....Sorry but it was like you repeating again again with the same pipes,mostly the Vance&Hines....totaly learned Nothing here🤔🙄 O wait!....I came back after thinking maybe I get it now,...Its an add for Vance&Hines pipes...Yep👍😂

[@rogermurph101]

No, it’s not. You didn’t pay attention, did you? They compared different slip ons against one another. But they also did a comparison of each slip on muffler using the stock header pipe, and then the V&H Power Duals head pipe. What you were seeing is whatever slip on, first with the stock header, then with the V&H header. Sometimes you have to actually watch something in order to comprehend it. Tough, I know.

There is also dealer support all across the country and any kind of aftermarket part you want. That just isn't available with any other manufacturer.

What do you ride?
