Default pipes

just added a brand new 2009 road glide to garage wondering what pipes work and look best on this bike new to baggers
ok so i have a good selection to choose from. currently i am running vance & hines big radius pipes on both softtails and loud! so i guess i want the sound and performance but also want to hear my stereo without droning pipes . I dont want much do I ? so im asking about which to avoid more or less so I dont have the above problems Thanks guys im counting on your experiences.

Default V&H Monstor ovals

They pretty good under either the hard or leather bags.

Depends on your taste and wallet thickness.

Loud or quiet?

Power or looks?

On a budget or the sky's the limit?

I'm running V&H dresser duals and monster ovals. Great sound and I can still hear my radio on the highway.
