Another vote for the Rush slip-ons. I've had them on my last two H-D's and love the way they sound. You can choose from five different baffle diameters, plus they sell the baffle assemblies separately in the event that you want to change the sound or do an ECM upgrade.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
I went with the 1.75" baffles which don't require any ECM changes as long as the stock air cleaner is in place.

I have a 2004 EG Classic and found the older S/E sounded the best, got them off ebay and have been pleased with performance and sound, my 2cts.

I have Hooker slips with the adjustable baffle. I have been told by everyone they sound nice, but aren't too loud. I will be selling them if you are interested as I'm going to true duels.PM me.

I am real happy with my new Cobra Touring 4" with billet end caps. Quiet when going easy or cruising but nice and throaty when you hit the throttle a bit. My 2003 FLHTPI Electra Glide is all stock in the engine and pipe area except for the Cobra Slip-On's and she runs great!

I just remved a set of S/E screaman eagle pipes that sound great. They are a little to loud for me as I'm getting older. Just installed a set of Rush with the 1.75 baffels this morning and they are not as loud as my S/E pipes. Not sure if I will miss the deep rumble, time will tell. I may be selling the S/E pipes with slash cut tips and a set of double groove tips as well if your interested. Pipes came off an 05 ultra. very nice shape. PM me if you want.
