Default Slip on Suggestions

OK folks, I currently have the Vance and Hines Pro Pipe on my 10 Street Glide. I Love the look and performance of the Pro Pipe, but not the crackle and droning of the exhaust note whenever I need to throttle up. Too much! I want to stay with the 2-1 pipe, so I'm going to gutt the cat from my stock head pipe, and install an after market performance muffler. I know most folks go with the 2-1-2, but I like the 2-1 performance so I'm looking for some suggestions based on those who have followed the same route, (gutted cat on 2010 with a slip on muffler.) I am looking at Freedom Performance, Cobra, Cycle Shack, and Bassani so far. I have always loved the sound of the Cycle Shacks on my old Dyna, but don't know how they would sound on a 2-1 touring? I only wish cycle Shack made a nice end cap, but in the end, sound and performance matter more to me. Looking for suggestions. Also, where is everyone fining sound clips for exhaust? I can only find those lucky enough to be on You Tube? Thanks

Am I the only one that wants to use the stock head pipe and slip on?

Not many folks have the 2-1 that came on the 10 SG. And I see a ton of them on eBay. But I am sure someone out there has done it. But its the day before the holiday weekend. I think a lot of people are heading out and not sitting online.

I had a Rinehart slip on my 2010 FLHX before I switched to duals. It sounded better than stock, but I still had the CAT in so I can't tell you it's sound on a gutted header.
