Default Harley Davidson VS Screaming Eagle mufflers

I have a Harley Davidson from Screaming eagle catalog, so my question is, what are differences for Harley Davidson VS Screaming Eagle mufflers? On the sound HD is great, so is good to buy Screaming Eagle II mufflers? This will increase the sound and performances?

Do you mean the stock mufflers vs. SE slip-ons?

I don't know, the Harley Davidson mufflers are already on my bike and are identical with Screaming Eagle but write Harley Davidson on.

I know it's more money and all but I'd pay extra for straight up pipes and not slip ons. Look for used ones on ebay, but some new aren't too bad.

The new Screamin Eagles are hardly louder than stock, try to find a used set of the old "not street legal" SEII's they are great.
Also a popular choice in new is the Cycle Shack, they are very similar to the old SEII's.

I have the new style Screaming Eagle slip on mufflers and find they have a noticeable difference in sound over the stock pipes.
