Default RC Components After market slip-ons

Having very recently traded for a new Heritage I am about to change the air cleaner/filter and exhaust system. I am familiar with Rush slip-ons because I ran them on my Slim. I also know a lot about V&H because they seem to own the majority of the market.

I liked the sound of the Rush a little bit better than the V&H. However, I would like something with a deeper growl and maybe not as loud as the Rush for the new Heritage.

I ran across a brand that I was not familiar with at the local dealer and really liked the appearance and billet tips available for them. The brand is RC Components. I think they are mostly known for their wheels ?

Anybody here running RC Components slip-on's or full system on their softail? If so how do they compare to other brands in build/material quality and sound?

Any other suggestions appreciated. I know there is plenty of great sounding LOUD systems out there. Every once and a while I hear a bike with the sound level and sound quality I'm after, but they seem to always get gone b/4 I can run them down.

I'm not looking for a bunch of performance increase. The bike has plenty of gitty up for my purposes. Additional power would be welcome, but I'm more after that great Harley sound. Thanks for looking and your response.

My wife bought them for her new Fatboy. The shop she bought them from recommended them over the Rush, which is what she intended to buy. The finish is better than the
Rush and the sound is deep but not too loud. You can choose from several different end caps at no extra charge. All in all very nice mufflers. I think you would be happy with them. And yeah I had never heard of them either.
