Default Exhaust question

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum but so far have been very impressed with the wealth of knowledge here. I have a 2003 Fatboy FLSTFI. I am looking to change the exhaust and have narrowed it down to two different pipes. The V&H 2into1 and the Thunderheader 2into1. I know that the performance difference between the two is negligable and now i'm trying to decide which one has the sound i'm looking for. Anyone know where I can go to find sound clips of these exhaust? Also any opinions from people who are running either of these exhaust. Right now my bike has the stage 1 upgrade and i'm running the screaming eagle slip ons. I can't decide if after the new pipes if I should just have the ECM reflashed or go with one of the tuners.

It won't really do the sound justice, but try doing some searches on youtube. I've heard bothpipes on there before. Vance & Hines make a few different 2-1 pipes. If you can handle the looks of the Thunderheader than you will probably like the sound and performance of it better, it is widely regarded as a great sounding pipe, as long as you don't mind loud.
