Default Mufflers

Just what is the difference between the Screamin Eagle SP mufflers and the 49 state Harley slip ons that are listed in the Screamin Eagle parts catalogue? Only the SP's have the Screamin Eagle logo. But what about sound and performance? I have an hours ride to work and find the V&H slip ons my buddy has too raspy and loud for my taste. I think the stock ones are too darn quite. Sounds like a Honda. What do you guys think?

I listened to both the SE II and and 49 state SE, and I heard a big difference.
I picked up the SEII from this forum, and am glad I did.
Not too loud, but still has the distintive HD sound.
The sound is loud enough, but not annoying. I ride 120 miles each way to work, and can't complain about the sound.
