Supertrapp Fatshots
Not that I'm trying to sell you my mufflers but I had these on my 107 with V&H TD'S, SE 255,Basiley SS heads and they were quieter then anything I tried,SPO OVALS , V&H Monster ovals.

MONSTER OVALS is the way to go!!!! Spent lots of time at shows and dealerships trying to get the right sound. I have an 07 ultra w/V&H true duals & the fuel pack. Originally had the basic slip ons which got way to loud. A lot of money but I have about a thousand miles on the monsters and I am very happy with the sound as well as the look and performance.

Unless someone's rackin' off goin' through the gears at high RPMs do you really hear bikes coming towards you or from behind? I don't. In the cage with the windows rolled up, A/C blowing and tunes playing I don't hear a bike, regardless of how loud, until they pass me goin' one way or the other. Personally, I think "Loud Pipes Save Lives" isn't a valid argument. Awareness is what saves life's, whether you're on a bike or in a cage.

I have the SE Touring slip ons with a stage 1 and really like the sound; just a little louder than stock with better breathing for the stage 1 setup. I had V&H ovals initially and really liked the sound but they grew much louder within 3 months of install and were too loud for me.
