Default naming exhaust system

I am new to motorcycle exhaust system naming. What is a 2-1, 2-1-2 etc. mean?? What is the configuration name for the stock 2015 HD Ultra limited? I put the American Custom slip ons on. These are original HD mufflers with the baffles taken our. Can buy different baffles to insert if you want to change sound. I thought that was a good idea. Not sure what configuration to choose when I autotune after getting the stage 1. Thanks.
