at this time, no matter what you get it is gonna be quiet. if you want to wake up the sound, you are gonna have to get rid of the headpipe with the cat in there.
before you give up on the monster ovals, maybe you should hear what they sound like on a true dual system minus the cat.

I like my MO's but I can see where they may not be all that for everyone. I wanted to hear the radio in this bike so I didn't want them super loud. With the cams in there and 10,000 miles on them they have gotten louder.

Installed my Monster Ovals, PCV and stage 1 AC last night and took it for a run this morning.. Not likeing the sound of the Monster Ovals very much. They sound nice and deep but are just not loud enough for my likeing. Thinking of selling them and getting something else but not sure what to get? I had some V&H big radius on my fatboy and loved the sound of them. Is there anyone out there that is looking for some New Vance and Hines Monster Ovals? Thanks and be safe guys.

P.S. The cat in the head pipe is going to make a big difference in sound.. True duels on a dresser??? I have been told, you will lose low end torque. Many dyno guys are saying the stock 09 head pipes retain the backpressure just enough to keep the low end torque up, especially with the wide open mufflers that I have.... But then again, what's low end torque got to do with you blasting past your buddy that thinks his bike is faster? JMO

If you want good deep throated Harley growl that will bring down a bridge if you roll the throttle on under it, get in touch with Jamie at Fuelmoto and buy a set of Dyna Tuned Jackpot's. only 299.00 plus 18.00 shipping. Best sounding and best quality bar none.
