Default I need help on exhaust choice

I own a 2005 FLSTCI Heritage 88ci with TW-6G cams and SERT,K&N A/C and SE slip on pipes. It dynoed out at 78 hp and 88 tq with a very flat tq curve. I don't like the sound of the exhaust and would like to change it out for a V&H BSS or a Bub 7 2 into 1 with a heavy breather a/c. I can find no data on dyno runs and don't want to buy this stuff and end up with a bike that has a less tq in the low RPM range. Most of our riding is two up and 2500 to 4000 rpm max. I really like the low end torque. What changes would you guys make if you were me and had about 1200.00 to spend. Thanks for any advice.

As far as numbers are concerned I would go with the 2-1 pipe, foe me I would go with the V&H BSS

One of the top choices would be a Fat Cat with quiet baffle.
