"Upgrade" and "downgrade" are terms salesmen and marketing departments use to manipulate people who don't know any better. Congratulations on not getting sucked in, and being able to think for yourself.
And now you have some ammunition to use when people say ignorant stuff like that.
Regarding slip-ons, I don't know of many people who have been satisfied with the sound of the Screaming Eagle.

On the subject of the pipes, I stopped by the local dealer and talked to the service manager. He said the softails don't have cats (unless it's a Calif model) When I get mine, I was planning on pulling the mufflers and if there is indeed no cats, just punching a 1" hole saw through to liven up the sound till I decide on slipons. Kind of looking at the Rush line now.

Man, ain't that the truth. About 9 out of 10 bikes I pass the other way on the road have the batwing. It's getting to a point that if I don't see a batwing, I wonder if it really is a Harley.

My buddy has a 13 Lo and he just cut the tips off, gutted it and rewelded the tips back on and coated them black. He threw in some torque cones and the sound pretty goood and you'd never know he cut and welded them...
