Default Touring Exhaust

Looking to add some slip ons for a little more rumble. I don't want anything crazy because I like to do some touring and hear the music on the highway. What do you recommend for a little more sound that won't make me deaf on the highway?
Stock 2015 103....I'm going to cut the cat out also to help with the heat.

Love my 4" SE Street Cannons. Nice low rumble at idle and nice growl when you roll on the throttle, but not loud. Just a little louder than stock, but nice tone.

The music on the highway IS the sound of your exhaust. Lots of pipes will do what your after, spend some time around other bikes and see what you like, all your going to get here is what other people like.

Do the de-catting first before getting the slip-ons, some guy's like the slightly louder stock
mufflers, just saying. Other than that, a friend has some Jackpot 4 inch on his Limited & and
they sound good when I ride next to, or behind his Bike. I had Vance & Hines on an older Bike
that I sold years ago they were just right, but that Bike didn't have a Radio either.

I've the V&H double slash cuts on my 13 Road Glide Ultra. The trip from here to York and back wasn't any problem with the extra noise in the back, and no complaints from the missus either. Seat of the pants, a little extra torque on the low end but once up to speed, nice and mello.

Another vote for the V&H twin slash rounds. For me they are the perfect combination of docile at cruising, but sounding like a Harley around town.

Since we're on the subject of exhaust, has anyone added anything like this to make the bike a true dual exhaust by eliminating the H pipe, or is it better to leave things just as is? http://aim-tamachi.com/collections/m...alls-fs001-001
