Default pipes for fatboy

I want new pipes for my fatboy but there are so many ways to go. I want it loud but not as loud as drag pipes. I know a lot of people like the V and H pipes, but what about samson, hard khrome etc.... Also want to change my carb from stock to maybe an S&S or mikuni. Which will deliver the best power increase and ease of installation for the best price. Any help is appreciated. Ride safe you all!!!

I like the look of the samson ground pounders.
I also like the 42mm mikuni

Nice pic harleyboy. I'm guessing thats a sign for the blue ridge parkway. If it is, I live about 1/2 mile from the parkway. Its great having it so close. The wife loves to just cruise. Had to buy a backrest for her cause she falls asleep. Any, are you running a mikuni on either of your bikes? I've got an 05 fatboy, and it sounds like I might have to buy new throttle and choke cables. Is this true? Are they hard to get tuned right out of the box? By the way i've got a carb not efi. Thanks for you help.

I HAVE A SET OF "AS NEW" V&H BIGSHOT STAGGERED (PYHTONS) THAT WOULD LOOK AND SOUND GREAT ON YOUR FAT BOY IF YOU DECIDE. $350 SHIPPED TO YOU.
