Have you considered a set of Rush slip-ons ?? Their chrome is
top quality.......
You can choose different "angle cuts" for the ends, and
also have a choice of size baffles....
I installed a set of "slash-out" slip-ons with 2" baffles
on my 08 R/G.....deep low rumble until the throttle
is twisted, then its an attention getter without
being obnoxious

Well Rick, I ride a 08 Street Glide with just the Bassani megaphone slip-ons and they are absolutely awesome. I am really happy with them. Really deep at idle, and only loud when you crack the throttle. I am able to hear the stock speakers at 45-50 mph, after that the wind makes it harder. I have only heard a 2-1 Thunder header and it was loud. Way louder than my bike..Good luck with your decision, it was very hard for me as well.

2 into 1 Thunderheader here. Love the sound, deep rumble when I crack the throtle, but at cruse 70 to 80, I can here the radio just fine. Slip-ons might be a little differen't. You said you need to do slip-ons. If because of cost, you should look at Pythons before you buy. They sound great and you won't beat the price.

Had V&H TD head pipes on my RG with the Thunderheader slip ons. Sounded awesome, but I took them off to go to a 2 into 1 for performance. I loved the sound and would highly recommend them. If you are looking for a set I still have mine with probably 2000 miles on them if you are interested.
