I have SuperTrapp slip-on mufflers on my Dyna. They are almost identical in appearance to the stock tapered mufflers, but have their stacking baffles inside, so you can tune them to give the sound you want.

I have Python 3 slip-ons (which are made by Vance & Hines) installed by my dealer for $200 when I bought my bike. I did this as a temporary but I like the sound so much that I'm keeping them. Great, throaty sound, very deep, and aggresive when you get on it. And I like the looks. I stopped by my wife's office one day (a medical building) and her whole department heard me coming from down the street... nobody could figure out what the rumble was until my wife siad, "That's just my husband on his Harley."

I have the V&H slip-ons and I think they are very loud. I definitely have the loudest pipes of all of my riding buddies and most have aftermarket exhaust. They are very easy to put on and look great. I also got mine from ebay for about $130.

Aftermarket will be Loud.... for some, Loud is important. Not sure why, seems to be a harley thing.
I'd get the SE.

I went to the dealer yesterday to check out a '07 FXD. It is very clean, 8k miles, factory alarm, and has several upgrades; detach w/s, Badlander seat, mid-rise sissy bar and pad, adj hi-way pegs, and some chrome covers, etc. Thinking of making an offer. It is stock performance, needs stage 1 intake/exhaust mods and a tuner. Sales guy says the SE slip-ons are pretty quiet, V&H or Python slip-ons will sound and run better. Opinions appreciated.

I bought the '07 FXD yesterday (Friday), picked it up today and rode it home in a cold rain. I had Rush 2" slip-ons, SE intake kit, and SE Super Tuner added. The Rush mufflers look good and sound good. Best of all is a big fat increase in RW torque and HP. Torque peak of 90 at 3750 rpm, vs. 76 stock. Have over 80 lb-ft from 2500 rpm to 5000 rpm. RW HP peak 77+ at 52000 rpm, vs. 65 stock, with 72 rw HP at 6000 rpm. I appreciate all the feedback from the forum. I'll post a photo after I get it cleaned up.
