You'll catch a bunch of grief for asking this question...it's been asked a million times on this forum and most guys will tell you to do a search but here's my opinion:
First, If you're not sure what you want, don't rush to buy something. It's worth the time and effort to get what you want and it takes some research. You can hang around the dealership or go to some local bike nights to listen for what you're looking for. If you see the same type of bike as yours and you like the sound, ask the guy what he's got. He'll be more than happy to tell you all about it.
Second, when you find the sound you want, start doing some online research for prices. There are some decent deals out there but you have to look for them. When I bought my set-up, I used one place for my headers and another for my Power Commander and slip-ons. By spending some time looking, I think I saved myself a nice chunk of change. I did, however, spend a little more on the PCIII and the slip-ons but I paid for some great customer service.
I ended up with V&H Dresser Duals, Rush 2.25" Slip-ons and a PCIII USB. It took me awhile to narrow it down but I got exactly what I wanted and it sounds AWESOME!
Take your time, don't rush. It's a big investment and once you bought it, you're stuck with it...unless you're rich and if that's the case, just get something and if you don't like it, go buy something else.
What roxnatwist said. Lots of info posted already and you're likely to get tons of opinions -- like mine, I really like my Rinehart TD's. There are lots of good exhaust systems out there. Good luck.
I did a search using my post , and didnt find allot . I have RH and have heard VH long shots . would like your input on a system for sound ,performance , and quality . Thanks
Not a lot of guys seem to run these, but I am very pleased. Great performance no loss of torque, great sound when crusing and you can bark on them if you like.
