I tried those as well...............and a Rinehart, V&H and a Roadrage........The RB Racing LSR made the best power hands down........101.18 tq..........That was a stock 96 with 255's.....That was the only pipe to break 100.........Fatcat was second at 98.62.....
But you better like LOUD!! Sound is "traditional" Harley but it barks.......

Check out the classified sections of all the HD forums online.........there have been some on there recently in the $400 range. But they go quick as they are the hottest exhaust going.

I switched from a set of Rinehart True Duals to a FatCat with a quiet baffle and all I can say is my bike runs better, it gets better gas milage, and it sounds bad, I don't know why they call it a quiet baffle because it flat *** bellers when you get after it.

I can't speak for the Rineharts, but that quiet baffle on the Fat Cat does shout when you whack it. It's loud, not quite as loud as the Big Shots, but it's a different kind of loud. It's like a deep loud belly rumble that I personally like, then it settles down to a low rumble at cruise. The main complaint I had about the Big Shots (2 actually) was that they were louder after the cam swap and on top of that, the loudness wasn't a pleasing noise. It was tinny and blatty, if that makes sense. The Fat Cat (and the Thunderheader on my buddy's RK) have a much deeper, less offensive loudness to them.
Here's a clip of the Big Shots with Big City Thunder quiet baffles in them to give you an idea of the tonal differences.

I had Rinehart TD's before the Fatcat.............the Fatcat(w/quiet baffle) is quieter. I got rid of the Rineharts because they got too loud with my motor work and I couldn't ride without getting a headache. The Fatcat has a sound all it's own.........many say it sounds like a big block muscle car........nice deep rumble.
