If you search the word "slipons" you will find numerous answers and advise on replacing the stock mufflers with ones more 'thoaty" and Harley sounding &nbsp\\; - My suggestion would be to buy a set of RUSH Slipons with a 2" Baffle
It's what I did and the cost was good and installation not to hard and the difference in sound AWESOME

I went with cycle shack slip ons for my 08 nighty and am very happy with the sound.&nbsp\\; The cost was only 125 off of ebay and the install was easy took about 30-45 mins.

I was told by my dealer I had to do a computer download or it would void my warranty. They want me to do slip one air cleaner and download. Is this true. I have a 2008 883 custom.
