Default 2011 FLHX Slip-ons???????

Hey guys sorry about the same old question but, i just got an '11 street glide and trying to get some opinions on slip-ons. I have an 08 street glide with a thunderheader on it and i was thinking of doing something a little different on this one. I really want a low aggressive throaty sounding exhaust i just cant decide. I have been listening to some sound clips on youtube and still cant decide. I want it to be loud i got a screamin eagle heavy breather and a pc v im just so picky about the sound. Love the thunderheader sound just want something lower i heard some bassanis on you tube and really liked the sound but youtube im sure is deceiving....Thanks

Remember your 2011 has a cat in the head pipe and that will affect the sound of slip ons.

check out the new Kerker Stout on the www.supertrapp.com site they have a sound byte and even with the cat it sounds good. Thunderheader slip ons sound beefy even with the cats.

Yep, I do. The garage really gives them more rumble, but on the road they definately are tamer than thunderheader without cat that's for sure.

hOW MUCH BETTER DO THE SLIPONS SOUND THAN THE THUNDERHEADER.....PLUS I HAD BIKE STARTED YESTERDAY AND ON MY 08 WITH STACK HEADPIPES YOU KNOW ONLY THE RIGHT SIDE PIPE HAD ANY EXHAUST COMING OUT....WITH THE 11 WITH THE 2-1-2 LOOKS LIKE BOTH SIDES FLOWING EQUAL....

I went with V&H power duals headers and high output slip-ons on my 2011 SG with 103. The sound is deep and throaty. Not loud until you open it up. Love it.
