Default LOOKING FOR A GOOD SLIP-ON MUFFLER MATCH

I recently installed a set of VANCE &amp\\; HINES TRUE DUALS P/N 16729, that I got off ebay, and now I'm looking for suggestions for a good set of slip-ons.&nbsp\\; Right now, I've got a set of HD Screamin' Eagles on, and they sound pretty good, but the dealer says they're not a great match.&nbsp\\; I had them hook up my power commander, only to find out after it was Dyno'd, that it was a bad PC.&nbsp\\; That's ok, I didn't even know it was on there when I bought the bike, so no real loss, tho I'm looking to get another.&nbsp\\;
Anywho, lookin for some input as to what would be a good match, or if anyone thinks leaving the SE's on would be a good thing.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks!

depends. you want loud, get a pair of thunderheadder slipons, Bassani isn't that loud but sound great. since you have vance/hines pipes, I suggest vance/hines oval slipons.

Any chance the dealer suggested a "better match" in mind for you to buy?&nbsp\\;

If you are not spinning the motor past 5.5K the best torque muffs are the SEIIs that were discontinued in 06 IMO.

I have the V&amp\\;H Basic slip ons.&nbsp\\; They sound great, not too loud, not too quiet, and they add power.&nbsp\\;

After reading a few replies, I guess I should add a bit of info.[sm=goodidea.gif]&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I'm looking for a nice rumble, loud enough to be noticed on the road, but not too loud as to have the neighbors calling the cops.&nbsp\\; I'm also looking NOT to spend a fortune.&nbsp\\; I've seen some of the others that looked awful good, but the wife would probably kick me out if I bought them, ya know!

I have the Vance &amp\\; Hines Basic Slip Ons as well.&nbsp\\; Good sound and don't rattle the neighbors windows when I leave in the morning.&nbsp\\; They do add power but they also cut your MPG as well.

After I installed my V&amp\\;H Dresser Duals, I paired them up with the Rush 2.25" slip ons and couldn't be happier with the sound. They are quiet at idle but when you crack the throttle they really sound awesome. Good luck with your choice.
