Default V&H or Rhineharts

I pretty much have it narrowed down to these 2 for some slip-ons on a 06 Heritage. Currently I have screamn eagles and am looking for a little more rumble. Nothing obnoxious...but would like the deeper, throatier, rumble that harleys are known for!
Any advice or input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Vance and Hines has more options for different styles than Rineharts. I love the Rinehart rumble but all there is for softails is the staggereds which look rather blah in my opinion.

Got the Vance & Hines big shots. They are a little more raspy and extremly loud even with the baffles in. Don't even want to know how loud it is with em out. For the rumble get the longshots or the Rhineharts.

I switched from Big Radius to Rineharts.
They look better.
Sound 100X better.
Run better...
But, very pricey.

If you want a set of softail Big Radius, I have a set that's like new in my garage. The pipes have 3200 miles on them.
$300.00 plus shipping.
