I had heard Rinehart slip-ons on some other Sportsters and thought they were warmer, a little quieter, and more "musical" than some other pipes. I liked the sound, and was not looking for in-your-face loud, so wanted to get a pair for my Iron. But they did not make anything for the 2016 model. I snooped around at many others and finally resigned myself to the idea of getting another popular brand (which I thought were a little loud and a little harsh), but right before ordering them, Rinehart released their new slip-ons for my year. I was excited. So I bought them.

When I first started it up, I was shocked at the sound. MUCH louder than the prior versions I had heard. And BIG sounding. Deep. But definitely not quite as "warm" as I had remember with the prior versions. And since I was not looking for loud loud, it threw me off.

The next think I noticed was how awful the bike ran. Backfiring. Deceleration popping its a** off. Completely "bogging" out at low RPMs while accelerating. So rough that I actually thought someone was seriously wrong. So I did some research and found that this was not that uncommon. After all, I had just switched to wide-open racing pipes – a major change from the prior set up. So a performance change was expected. I decided V&H's FP3 tuner was the way to go, to see if it would help my situation (it literally had one of the highest ratings of any product I'd seen on Revzilla, and almost seemed too good to be true). So I ordered it and flashed the bike. Immediate improvement. Instantly ran smooth. Not one decel pop. And with every mile (as the adaptive fuel values settled in more and more), the bike began to feel like a racing machine (and sound like one too).

So now it was running amazingly (did some other things with autotune, etc. but this is not a review on the FP3, so I'll stay with the mufflers). But it was LOUD. At idle, I love it. Traffic now knew I was there. But I have to say, when riding it, there are time when it's too loud for my tastes. Actually hurts at some particular RPMs. I've since gotten used to it more, and it's getting easier to ride. But the reason I really bring up this point is because I actually love the Rineharts (which is interesting because for the first week, between the volume and performance, I thought for sure I'd need to get rid of them), but wish I had some baffle options to tone it down a bit. But there are none for this muffler.

My review should be considered very good. These are great mufflers for someone who likes/wants loud. And once the bike was tuned for them, ran like a racing machine. But I'm still considering switch them out due to the volume. If there were some baffle options from Rinehart that brought them a little more under control (but still retains a good portion of the big, great sound), this review would be a stellar one.

I wanted to give my 2015 Iron 883 a meaner sound, and holy crap, did these accomplish that! They were a breeze to install, took maybe 30 min. and did it by myself with no issues. The second I started my engine the first time I got a huge grin and wanted to jump up and down I was so happy. They're LOUD and MEAN! These mufflers on my Iron are louder that my V&H shortshots (full system - unbaffled) that I have on my Dyna Low Rider S. I love them, and though I was afraid they might be TOO loud (and get me pulled over), I've now had them on long enough to know that cops are cool with them. And now, instead of ignorant drivers trying to pull in front of me, they hear me coming and get out of my way! Will never put another pipe on my Harleys besides these Rineharts!

Just got my pair yesterday and took me just about an hour with no experience. Had my wife start it up for me and even she jumped a bit from how loud and amazing they sound! Definitely sounds like a Harley now and traffic will now know I'm coming so they can stop trying to take my lane. Thanks Revzilla!!

These pipes are Awesome! Classic deep "rumble". Loud-- but it a good way! I am so glad I bought these! They were installed in 20 minutes or less and fit like a glove on my 2017 883 Superlow. They look amazing!

I'm very happy with my new sound of my Rhinehart mufflers slip . I hated the sweeper sound I had with the stock Harley Davidson 883 iron Sportster 2016. I didn't want the expense of a tuner or new aircleaner just yet n these Rhinehart slip ones gave me a loud wonderful sound . I feel like it's a True Harley now . Thanks with the great videos cuz it helped me make my decision better .Great information for a women new at all this n wow. Fast.Fast shipping. Will be back for more

My 2915 seventy two is louder than my buddies with Vance and Hines and he has a 103. So if you want loud these are for you!!!!

These Slip-ons are by far the Best Bang for your buck! I did many sound comparisons with other exhaust and none even came close to the Rumble of these Pipes. I get constant Compliments on the look and Sound of these pipes weather it be at a stoplight, bike nights or in the parking lot. These will turn heads!
I Highly recommend these slip-ons and even tho your Neighbors may hate you, you're gonna be one Satisfied Rider with these on your Harley.
Thank you RevZilla!
