Default Quiet pipes

I've got a 2013 switchback FLD, the stock pipe is super quiet, I want to replace the stock pipe with a new exhaust to get rid of that hot cat I was going with the V&H pro pipe but that's a little too loud for my tinnitus ringing ears, can anyone suggest a quieter pipe? I've listened to a few pipes on you tube. I would like something a little louder that the stock BTW.
Thanks

De-cat your pipe. Definite volume increase. My dealer actually has some ready to go for $250 I think.

Supertrapp is fairly quiet (and tunable) as well. I like mine.

Either way, you'll need a dyno tune or some sort of tuner like Powervision etc. Slippery slope.

Thank you for spelling quiet and quieter correctly. I see this error "quite" often and it often makes me want to "quit" reading the thread. ha ha

I go with de-catting your pipe first, and then decide.

I have 2013 switchback also.
If you find something good (good sound without being to abrasive) please post back.

Does Rinehart make Churchills for the Switchback? They would sound and look awesome on that bike.......
