Recommendations for "Quiet" Pipes
I'm looking to upgrade my intake and pipes, but the police in my neighborhood are very hard on guys with loud bikes. I understand that anything I get is going to be louder, but does anybody have any recommendation for pipes that will be less restrictive, but not obnoxiously loud?

Khrome Werks 3" HP Tapered. They look just like the stock and have a nice deep rumble. Not nearly as loud as any of the Vance and Hines but definetly louder than stock.

Bassani Road Rage 2-1.
The Bassani Road Rage 2-1 pipe is really good. The sound is louder than stock but it is NOT to loud. Had V&H Short shots on our Sporty and those puppies where LOUD. Nice rumble at idle and when you open them up it gets even deeper but it doesn't pi$$ off the people next to you in there cage.
Here is a clip of the Bassani's on our bike:

All of those sound great. Will the Harley dealer install non SE stuff, or do I have to go to a performance shop for that?

Make sure you got the appropriate gaskets to go between the exhaust and the cylinder head, and unplug the O2 sensors before you unscrew them.
