ok, well in that case... I just bought 2005 sportster xl883 custom and I am looking for a slip on that will give me that "harley davidson" sound, but i dont want it to be so loud as to wake up all the neighbors... I am on somewhat of a budget prolly around $150ish. Would i be better off trying to buy a used set of cycle shacks or something or just drilling holes on the insert in the pipe?

Yes. Cycle Shacks would be your best bet.

I've heard nothing but good things about them, but I've never owned a set. I ordered Rush slip-ons for my bike, just over $200.

Check on E-bay, usually a few used for sale from folks that bought acomplete full lengthexhaust system (like I did). You'll be able to experiment with one set and won't blow yer budget.
