Slip On vs Complete System
My bike is currently running SE Slip ons. They of course suck. Well I dont guess they suck but I'm not very happy with them. I'm not really wanting to shell out 500 bucks on a complete system so I was wondering about the slip ons. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a complete syatem? And how do they compare to slipons?

Performance is always a plus but as long as I dont lose any performance I'll be ok. Really just a better sound. Do the slipons compare to the completes sound wise?

My V&H slip ons are plenty loud and give nice performance. They're actually louder than my double barrels on the Softail. I get compliments on their sound all the time. They cost me like $200 on ebay.

I assume being a 2006 that your slip-ons are SEII's, if so I have heard good things about the big city thunder baffles and I don't think they would harm performance any if not improving it a bit. Or you can remove the baffle completly and run around the block, you'll know pretty quick if it's too loud.
If it's performance only that you want a good 2 into 1 system will help but you will loose a lot of that classic Harley sound.
I have SEII's with the standard baffles and they are loud enough for me (and my neighbours).

If I could get that on a loop and play it when I go to bed I'm sure I'd sleep like a baby.

I have heard the stock header pipes are good and choosing the right slip ons is fine. Slip ons, heavy breather and dyno tune will set you free.
