Default Ideas on pipes

I now have screaming eagle pipes on my 98 1200 sport. I'm looking for ideas on some different pipes, want a great sound, doesnt have to be super loud, just a great look and sound. Maybe some of you can tell me what you are using. thanks
To give more info, I like the V&H short shots, but they don't make these for the 98. Something similar or maybe change my mind, I'm open.

I wouldn't have a clue.......


Honestly, we need more detail....Do you want something short & curvy like mine, something long & straight, something short & pointed straight towards the ground? There's numerous options out there.....Look at Bassani, Vance & Hines, Pipedreams, Hooker...Heck, there's more out there but I can't remember them all.

Look at the pipes on WVHogRider's bike. They are Bassani pipes, best in the busness as far as I'm concerned. A friend changed from howeling chicken pipes to Bassani pipes and said he could tell a big difference in power, he was grinning like a bird fed cat. I ran the same pipes on my sportster and I loved them.
