Default Deep sounding full exhaust

I'm looking for a full exhaust, that sounds really deep.

Currently I have cycle shack slip ons.

At first I was blown away compared to how it sounded stock.

But now after a couple thousand miles they are starting to sound sharp and have lost the deep sound they had.

So I decided that if I upgrade this time it will be with a full exhaust system.

What full exhaust do you know of that is equally as loud but sound very deep?

I'm running a Supertrapp Supermegs, nice deep tone, but may not be loud enough for you.

Can the baffles in your current pipes be repacked? I had some V and H pipes that started sounding a little tinny and all I had to do was repack the baffles to bring that deep throaty sound back! Cost about $8.00 for the packing from vance and Hines! Cheaper than a complete system that is if you really like your old exhaust system!

My Vance and hines 2:1 black out is pretty deep. When I get on it, it sounds just like the big harleys IMO, and from what others say who hear it.

If you want a unique and very very deep sound (there will be no other sportsters that will sound like yours), then D&D Bobcat...they are a bit pricey though...but there is a reason they cost what they do as they simply don't just make the bike louder like 99% of the exhaust systems do with no performance gain....

I had d&d's on my Ducati once. Too loud so I tossed them and got a pair that was more friendly to the ears. Never again!

Comparing a Ducati with a D&D to a Sportster with the D&D is almost comparing apples to oranges...

Wild: the exhaust looks pretty good and I saw the video you made some time back and they sound extremely good my question is: the pipes run very close to the ankle when using forward controls, now I'm sure in cooler setting this would not be an issue but what about in warmer weather do they heat or overheat the ankle?
