If you dont want to remap, then you must go for a slip on pipe with lots of back pressure to compensate. So your choices are:

1-Khrome Werks slip ons.
2-V&H slip ons with quiet baffle.
3-Cycle Shack slip ons.

you can get any of these pipes for less than 300$ at your doors

 

Another choice is go put 5,000 miles on it. They start sounding better as you use them.

 

Pretty much any slip-on will work. As long as you don't upgrade to the stage 1 air cleaner, you won't need to remap. Once you add more air to the mix, you'll need to remap to compensate.

Personally, I have the SEII's (old style) slip-ons and like the sound they produce. p/n: 80258-99A are the baloney cut SEII slip-ons. They aren't necessarily available but I found a brand new set back in the spring at Barnett HD of texas. Search around on ebay and such. You can usually find them fairly cheap at under $100.

If you want, I made a youtube video...you can hear them.

 

Cycle Shack slash cuts are available new from Jireh Cycles for $104.95 per pair. They rock.

 

Have a look at Rinehart slipons , great sound and even better performance, over stock pipes, I ran them for a year without a remap, no problems.

 

+1 for Rinehart's ... I put them on mine and love them... No Remap... Found them on E-Bay with 600 miles on them for $200

 

I'm running V&H Stright Shots Slipons. Sure don't sound like a mini-bike.

 

" Rush" they sound great.

 

I currently have Cycle Shacks on my 07 Wide Glide which I think sound good but not a "knock your socks off" sound like I've heard on other Harleys. Heard a pair of Rush 2.0" on a late model Sportster the other day and they sounded fantastic. Deep, healthy, with very little mechanical clatter that I can hear on my bike with the Cycle Shacks.

I'm thinking about another pair of slip-ons as I really am partial to the look of the stock, dual, config. Currently deciding between the Rush and the V&H slipons which I have never heard in the flesh. Wondering which is deeper and better sounding.
