A little late to the party but some CVO mufflers with Fullsac baffles work incredibly well and sound great.

Of course, the same mufflers will sound different on a bike with a highly modified motor than they will on an otherwise stock motor.

Since the OP is looking for quieter mufflers that flow ok on a mostly stock 103, I can only state what works for me on my '16 RGU 103 - stock except for HD Screaming Eagle A/C, Screaming Eagle "Street Cannons" mufflers and a V&H FP3 tuner. It's somewhat louder than stock, but not obnoxious. Just how loud it sounds depends on how hard I twist it. Not a problem If I want to leave my house at 4 AM without waking my neighbors but when I twist it hard on the open road it sounds great to me. As always, YMMV.
Deadhawg, thank you for reading my post completely and for the correct response. I ended up buying some like new stock pipes for $50 10 minutes from my house and I love the sound. I still have the loud slip ons for when I get tired of the quietness.
I think some people read "pipes" and automatically respond with what they prefer with loud pipes. I wish folks would read through the posts entirely like you, before responding.
Thanks again!
