Screaming Eagle versus V&H Monster Ovals
I purchased 2006 Ultra Classic that is mostly stock about 6 months ago. I want to upgrade the exhaust, air intake, and do the subsequent remapping. After doing some research, I have narrowed this down to getting a Screaming Eagle exhaust or a Vance & Hines Monster Ovals exhaust. My criteria were:
1) I want to increase the power of the bike a bit.
2) I want a better sound than what the stock mufflers have.
3) I want to still be able to hear the sound system well over the pipes at freeway cruising speeds.
4) I don't want an obnoxiously loud bike (sorry, don't mean to offend those who like very loud pipes -- all personal preference).
5) I leave for work at 5:30 AM and don't want pipes that will disturb the neighbors.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Either slip on will do what you want for sound.I have Monster Rounds and a buddy has S/E mufflers they are pretty tame unless you really wick it. A set of cams will give you a great boost in power and torque along with your air intake. By re-mapping you mean a tuner, there are many choices the Power Commander is my favorite.

I just put Monster Ovals on my Ultra day before yesterday.....they are freaking sweeeeet. Very deep and mellow, but still throaty and loud enough to get some attention. They do not enterfere with stereo at highway speeds at all.
They also look cool (imo).

Thanks. Just curious -- did you get the solid chrome or black tipped? My ultra is black, so thought the black tips might complement it.
