Exhaust recommendations for '11 CVO?
Looking for some recommendations to change the exhaust on my soon to arrive '11 CVO SG? My wife will be riding with me quite a bit so I don't want her to get the headaches like she gets in my '69 Vette with side pipes. I want a low rumble that comes alive if I give her. Seems like Vance and Hines seems to be the diretion so far. Not sure whether to change the heads and then go to a fuel mgmt system too. Your help is appreciated!

on my 09 rg I went with v&h head pipes, fit excellent as always and good quality, for the mufflers,I went with kuryakyn's Crusher mufflers, and am I glad I did. excellent quality, 4" cans to fill up the hole from the extended bags, great classic looks, and that sound!! you can sneak past a cop on light throttle (as long as its not uphill!) but if you get on it, fantastic! I was a little hesitant on the mufflers, but kurakyn stands behind everything they sell, and I for one applaud their customer service, I have put on 3 sets on other guys bikes, and they all love the sound/performance/looks. there's a lot out there, and an opinion for each, there's mine

On my '09 Fat Bob SE, CVO, I put Vance & Hines Big radius 2 into 2 with the Vance & Hines fuel pack and she runs, looks and sounds outrageous. Ride past the law all the time, they look but never stop me.

I used the fullsac stage 1 kit which includes the x pipe, the 2" power cores, tts tuner. http://www.fullsac.com/
It sounds great and i wanted to keep the look of the stock mufflers

Well, you could do this in stages. Why not try it with the (power robbing) stock pipes for a couple of weeks and then order in something like a FuelMoto
headpipe to eliminate the catalyst. This will increase the sound and let you later use autotune sensors should you wish to. If it's still not loud enough then consider the various slip on options.
