Default Need Suggestions for Slip Ons

2015 Ultra
I have Screamin Eagle slip-ons - Not loud enough
Not really into the idea of a full exhaust but may go that route
Any Ideas? Thanks

In my opinion, the best sounding slip-ons, and I know this is a very subjective topic, are the CFRs and the Bassani DNTs.
FWIW.

Loudness is subjective. IMHO you need to have a listen to some slip ons on a few bikes. Videos will not do, you need to hear them in person. I run Vance & Hines Twin Slash cut and they are perfect for me. Loud enough for me. My boss has Rineharts and I think they are a bit louder than mine. I like the sounds of his too.

Go 2/1 get performance & sound. I have FM R/T 2/1. If you must have a dual set up with a 2/1 some manufactures sell a false pipe for the left side.

full system is the only way to go. imo I agree with sanman about 2 into 1 for power. I put a set of cobras with the power port on my dads trike and they really woke it up. power and sound. you could get a head pipe and possible use your se slip ons and save a buck. depending on how they sound with new head pipe.

I have a 2012 and I have a stock Decatted head pipe and Bassani DNT slip ons. My friends tell me that is it the best sounding bike in our group. You have to decide how far you want to go. Do you want to get it tuned or a tuner then the heat monger head pipe needs to go.

Any issues with not being able to hear the radio as well after adding slips ons?
