Default Sounds

Anyone that has gone from SE II to Vance and Hines products...

How is the sound of the V&H compared to SEIIs?
Is it a deeper sound?

I'm lookin at getting the shortshot staggerds for my 2004 1200C. I am looking for a new look and sound I I was hoping these pipes would be louder and really wake up the bike. Also can anyone recommend a jet kit for stage 1 that I can find cheaper than the stealer?
