Default High output vs Oversized slip-ons with dresser duals

Hi guys, I have 2015 Street glide special. I had installed a V&H dresser dual with a CFR slip-on, together with SE chisel extreme billet air cleaner. The sound with the CFR especially on long rides is rather annoying. I am considering if changing to either V&H High output or Oversized 450.
Any advice would be appreciated

If you want a more comfortable sound for long rides, try the V&H monster ovals. They have a nice tone while cruising.

I tried the high outputs and monster rounds on my 2015 CVO Roadglide and they were both annoying on long rides. They both made good power, but what good is it if they're driving you crazy on a long ride?
I'm very happy with the monster ovals.

After having both of the V&H you are looking at on my Dresser Duals, the OS450s are the more highway long mile friendly of the two. They also retain more low end with the stock motor. I really like the Hi-Outputs, but on the highway they got really annoying.

I have SVT Boneshakers now and they are louder and as deep as the Hi-Outputs, but settle down perfect on the highway.

Here is a clip of the OS450s:

If you go to all my videos there is clips of the OS450s with and without packing, Hi-Outputs, SVT Boneshakers, RCX 4.5, and MGS loud baffle slip ons (my second choice of the bunch). I've also had CFR and Big Louies, all on Dresser Duals.
