That was going to be my suggestion too. They make great sounding and great PERFORMING mufflers for when you upgrade the headers. They don't sell like a lot of the big names, but they are a great company.

I ran Screaming Eagle slip-ons on my '12 and have them on '17. Worked for me. Have a few friends who like RC Components. If you are interested in going that way, take a look at this post if you want to save some $$$. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...-99-16-fl.html

search around on here, i had some RCX that were really rattling BAD, i did pix and write up.
i 'think' the old SE pipes have removable baffles?
take out baffle
get an exhaust expander from Advance, take out one of the teeth, then slip it in, expand the baffle a bit.
beat it back in, with a piece of wood on each end.
ride it till your are tired of them.

I subscribe to John Maxwell's Youtube channel and he did a comparison on some touring exhaust here:

He also did a comparison for a Softail exhaust here:

I have their 3.5" HP Plus on my 03 88 and they look and sound really good. Their 4" are probably a bit deeper but these have a nice tone, not too loud, but sound great when you get on it.

I had Samson's on my 03 RK that sounded nice. Now I'm running Fullsac, may want to go to their website for a look. They were reasonably priced.

Got the tab bam sticks with zombie baffles. This is the video that sold me. They are loud but sell quiter removable baffles fairly cheap. I love mine. They claim 8-12 hp or something but Im sure thats with the perfect tune etc.
