Get a set of Rush slip ons with 1.75 baffles which will run you about $350. If you change the filter to a high flow like the SE then you will have to get a fuel management setup like the SE pro tuner or the like which will run you about $600 extra for the tuner, then you would need a dynotune to dial it in which will be another couple hundred. How much extra do you want to spend? If you're not&nbsp\\;prepared to spend all that, then&nbsp\\;just get the slip-ons for now.&nbsp\\;

I like the sound of my Vance & Hines slip-ons. I did that, the SE air cleaner and the standard download. Bike runs awesome.

&nbsp\\;V&amp\\;H ovals or monster ovals. Great&nbsp\\; sound, look way better than most others from the back.&nbsp\\; Do your AC and tuner now because its summer and the stock bike is gonna fry your ***! I paid about $680 for everything , slip ons ( used like brand new from a forum member) fuel pak and&nbsp\\;SE AC. Shop around look for deals and its so easy a child could do these installs. My bike runs as good as any other tuners out there or better with no cheese spent on dyno or labor.

www.superflowmufflers.com order the 2 inch and leave the air cleaner stock save your self a bunch of money. Stock look but diffently&nbsp\\;not stock sound deep rumble not to loud. I've got the 1.75 inch on mine but I only have a 80 inch evo motor the 2 inch should be perfect on 96 inch twin cam motor.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

I have the Vance &amp\\; Hines Oval slip ons and love them. I did add the S/E High Flow A/C &amp\\; Vance &amp\\; Hines fuel pack but if all you want right now is better sound you can just do the slip ons and be OK.

Rush 1.75 or do what&nbsp\\; did, get a used pair of 2" off E-bay for $92 and repack them for around $30. It quieted them down a tad ( which I thought they needed) and they sound great.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;They have a low rumble until you crack it open.
&nbsp\\;
Next&nbsp\\;get a set of XiEDs from http://www.nightrider.com/parts/&nbsp\\;for&nbsp\\;$99 for fuel management. It richens your AFR and makes it sound even meaner or lower, also cools it down. Then you can do the A/C thing if you want.
&nbsp\\;
Ride well,
&nbsp\\;
