Back to the OP, the sky is the limit for exhausts. Bang for the buck, keep the stock headers and crossover pipe and go with a set of slip ons. Sound is subjective and what sounds great to one guy is obnoxious to another. That being said, Rush and Cycle Shack are two popular choices for slip ons.
Avoid straight drag pipes. They make lots of noise and usually produce very little low end streetable power and torque.
I like the Rhineharts on my dad's Road King, but most Rhinehart products are made for touring bikes. Even though his Road King is a twin cam, his bike actually sounds pretty good. Still not as good as my Evo though haha.

Rb racing is one of the better pipes. I have one but by what I hear is the supertrapp is a better choice because you can tune it to your build and produce the most amount of hp/tq. As for the 8 cam it really likes 10.8:1, I know cause I have one of those too. Don't forget to post a dyno when completed
