If you are on a budget, slip-ons, or even a baffle change, will get you by for the time being. I went with Rush slip-ons for a few reasons. But, in your case, all I need to say was that it gave me that umph I needed in sound quality. No slip-on will give you so much noise that you can set off car alarms. And, it is advised that you resist that urge. But if you want LOUD, you need a baffle-less full system. But, also, if this is the route you choose, it is typically best to wait until you can do the A/C and tuner at the same time.

So, if budget IS a concern, I'd strongly recommend changing the mufflers, or just the baffles, for the time being. It is a cheap alternative that can improve the exhaust note drastically.

Something I learned is dont rush doing anything. I got my bike and two months later had already changed a bunch of things. Now it has been almost 2 years and I am about to change half of the things I had done to it. Do not rush!! That is my 2 cents.
