Default Need some exhaust help

So sad news. My bike got knocked over at work last week. However, my company is paying for it all and I'm getting a check to buy some upgrades with. I currently have stock pipes with baffles knocked out of my 11 iron 883. I personally like the v&h big radius and the bassani sweepers (both in black). However my wife does not. She likes the long straight pipes. I like taking her out on the bike so I want her to like it as well. She said she is open to seeing them on a bike instead of just pictures. So my questions are these. Does anybody in the Raleigh/Cary/Apex area have a sportster with pipes in this style? Or does anybody have some suggestions for longer straight pipes that are black without the chrome tips that don't sound almost like stock pipes?

Can't specifically help with the question directly, but I can tell you that several people have mentioned that the 2 up pegs are no longer functional with the sweepers.

V&H has the Blackout 2-1. That is a long straight pipe.

Rush has a few options to choose from that are full systems that are blacked out.

Bub jug Huggers, best pipes. You get the aggressive look, more performance, super deep sound, and guess what, no one has them, you make other bikes sound like crying babies with these pipes.
