RE: muffler recommendation
I recommend you go out to a Bike Nite A Rally or any local event and let your EARS do the work for you. When YOU hear that right sound go talk to the rider. Too many times people get the wrong exhaust because they didnt let THE EARS DO THE WORK.

Vance and Hines Basic Slip ons here as well. Wicked when baffles are removed. But, I also suggest listening to other folks bikes to see what you like.

RE: muffler recommendation
Well, it depends.....what else are you running?
 \\;
I've been going thru this for awhile myself, and have found out quite a bit of news! \\; I just upgraded from stock exhaust to V&\\;H True duals, and fopund out that my existing mufflers, SE slip-ons, were NOT a good match. \\; Seems the V&\\;H pipes are restrictive, and the slip-ons were restrictive as well. \\; I'm in the process of getting a set of Rush slips with the 2" baffles. \\;
 \\;
I did this, purchase the V&\\;H True Duals, after reading many posts saying how good they were. \\; Didn't know anything about their restrictiveness.....they sounded great with the SE slips, but after the dyno, I was told they weren't a good match. \\; Now, I'm trying to compensate by going with the Rush 2"'rs.
 \\;
Do yourself a favor and check out as much as you can, and talk with as many as you can in regards to those issues before you buy. \\; There's nuttin worse than finding out all the lil bits of info AFTER you buy.
 \\;
Good luck, hope this helps!
