Default Exhaust Input Needed

I am contemplating the purchase of a Road King Classic (out of town from a dealer)with the following exhaust setup:

Screaming Eagle Stage I download with Kerker High Performance Exhaust.

Does this setup have a nice deep throaty sound or is it closer to stock? I honestly have no idea and would love to hear your input.

Thanks,

Frank

Try to listen to as many bikes as you can.
Bear in mind the mufflers sound different while riding than a bike going by you.
Most people will tell you all about their mufflers if you ask them , so just listen and ask.
I learned more at a couple of group rides than chasing around people or hanging around shops.
Everybody has their favorite thing , so figure out what your "thing" is.
I went for deep and mellow myself , but that's my preference.

I agree with Mick my supermegg is real quiet at 60 ( the wind is louder)from the saddle but after being near the bike during dynoing I know better
