The "new and improved" two-piece Screamin Eagle slip-ons I put on our 08 are just right for us. They're louder and deeper than stock, but my wife and I can still talk to each other without screaming.

Bigger motor and 6 speed trans. Watch your speed. Cruising on the interstate at 3000 rpms in 6th gear is way over the speed limit. I'm still trying to get used to that.
