Default Looking for wisdom please

Hi everyone... I'm in need of some suggestions and/or knowledge on the following exhaust brands -- Hooker Troublemakers,Samson Ghetto Blasters and the Santee Exhaust Checkmate pipes by Doug Keim. Any input would be greatly appreciated, please.

I think the Samsons have a very classic sound, my neighbor has Vance and Hines on his Train which sound good too but my other riding buddy has Rineharts on his Ultra and I don't care for the sound as much..

Just my opinion, another good way to listen to various pipes is goon YouTube and search for the different pipes...

Everyones sound preference will differ. I like the sound of Rineharts the best but there are others that are pretty good. I know Vance and Hines / Rinehardstand behind their products. And if your looking to gain some performance a 2 into 1 exhaust will help.
