Default M8 Exhaust

I had a 09 Heritage with Rush slip ons that I really like. Nice crisp sound, loud but not obnoxious.
I just ordered a 2020 Heritage chrome with the 107 and am curious what are so e choices you guys have made for that nice Harley sound. I know that sound is different for everyone but am curious as to what slip ons are a popular choice for the M8
Thanks

S&S EPA legal slash cut slip-ons. Great sound, performance, and keep your warranty.

I have an all-OEM Stage 1 set up with SE Street Cannons and the Pro Street tuner. As soon as the warranty goes out on my ‘18 Deluxe, I am putting V&H Straight Shots and a FP3 on it.

Slip ons? Really? You have a new scoot, why are you not thinking what's best? Full exhaust and a stage 1? Money?

Didn’t say I wasn’t doing a Stage 1, just curious about slip ons with the M8, OK?

I wanted to keep my warranty. Some dealers will say OK to non-EPA exhaust, but, the warranty is then on them and not H-D. If you are traveling away from the selling dealer and something happens.......
