Default Loudest - Best sounding slip ons for 883?

I have a 2012 883 Iron.

I'm settling for a set of slip ons for now...don't want to change out the whole exhaust just yet or mess with the O2 sensor.

I want the loudest, best sounding pair I can find. Any suggestions and/or recommendations?

I'm a big fan of the V&H pipes.

The only best option is DRAG PIPES.

Every day I get someone commenting on how awesome my bike sounds... It idles low, and it raps up like a pissed-off T-rex, and I make SO many other Hogs sound like ****...

Came up next to an 883 Nightster or Iron or some other blacked-out Sporty, had wrapped pipes with some sort of slip-ons... He wanted to know everything about my bike's exhaust once we hit the next light. Just drag pipes, yo!

Was leaving the PX one day, there sits a Dyna or Fat Boy or something. Nice bike, had slip-ons... He fires his up, sounded about as throaty as a Prius... I sorta scoffed to myself (since anyone catching a Private scoffing is bound to scuff said private up), and lit my bike up. Dyna rider whipped his head around so hard, I thought he was gonna sue me for whiplash!

Also, I dunno why everyone complains about the noise of their bikes... At highway speeds, my bike isn't actually that loud... I think the wind rushing past my ears is louder... Plus, I LOVE how my bike sounds!!

I went with Khrome Werks HP+ 2.5" slip-on's. They are slim and close to looking like drag pipes but has KW's nicely designed baffle. Nice, deep tone and great performance.

You should find a place with a lot of bikes and listen to them pull in. When you hear the sound you like go see what it is. Ask the owner if its stock or modified.

If it's a stock system he probably can't hear it. lol
