The Rinehart Motopro 45's are the best sounding M8 exhaust I have heard.

You need something with backpressure. What ever you choose you'll need to run with the DB reducers in if you care about losing low end torque.

I loved my S&S MK45s for sound and tone. Ran them with one DB reducer in on the right side and bike ran great.

I really like the CVO mufflers with Fullsac baffles. The nice thing is you can change baffle size for more or less sound without breaking the bank each time. My preference is 2” with decatted headpipe but I’m not looking for loud. The other advantage is a nice selection of changeable caps depending on what look you want.

I love the Rinehart DBX45 on my Road King. Since you de-catted, you'll need something like the Fuel Moto tuning inserts to restore backpressure.
I used their exhaust and inserts with DBX45s and a Wood WM8-22X cam. Love it!!!

Khrome Werks 4.5 HP Plus. Best sounding and performing slip ons you’ll find.

Another item to consider, for backpressure, is @DK Custom Products Thunder Torque Inserts...
