Default Slip on question

I apologize if this has been asked, but I have a specific question and had trouble finding in the searches.

I have a 2001 FLHRCI with a SE 95" kit, V&H dresser duals, HQ 039G cam, and SE touring slip-ons.

My questions is around a replacement for the slip-ons. When I had the higher lift gear drive and dual head pipes installed, I left the SE mufflers on as I liked the sound, BUT after the work they are louder and not in a good way. They kind of sound like a real loud marble in a beer can. I dont' like it and it is too loud at highway speed.

I know because of the dual head pipes and motor work, the bike will have a different sound, so I was wondering if anyone had some advice on a muffler that would keep a nice deep tone and allow me to hear the radio and the wife when cruising at highway speeds.

thanks.

Thanks.

I was wondering if the newer CVO 4" would be a good option. There are good amount on ebay pretty cheap and maybe with the 4" I would not lose too much gitty up. Anyone?

Also, I was curious about the SUPERTRAPP SE and how loud that might be with my motor work.

Rinehart slipons are to me what your looking for. I can hear the radio and I don't have speaker upgrades yet, as well as they have that deep rumble at idle and crack nicely as you twist the wick.

Thanks Scott. I was worried about Rineharts being too loud. I have seen that on other posts here. Do you have the quiet baffles?

Also, is your bike an 88"?

For the price Python Slips are hard to beat... Got many compliments on how well they sound with the V&H True Duals ...
