Looking for a new slip on exhaust system for my '05 1200 Custom Sportster. I would love to do a full exhaust upgrade, but it just ain't in the budget right now.

There are so many choices in exhaust.
There are 3 main factors that are considered in upgrading exhaust:
Looks

real deal screamin eagle IIs. hard to find in good shape. cycle shacks/rush after that.
Another Khrome Werks fan here. Look just like stock chrome tapered, excellent fit & finish. Mine has the quiet insert baffles, which is not quiet at all, just less loud.
