Default Upgrade thoughts

I have a 2007 Road King Classic with 14,000 miles and have not done anything mechanically in regards to upgrades other than screamin eagle slip ons when I purchased the bike new. Done a ton of cosmetic, but no stage 1 etc. I am looking for a deep, throaty, brassy sound when cruising, not just when I'm on the throttle. I like the sound when I get on the throttle at about 55 mph with my slip ons, but those are a little high pitched. Like how loud it is, but would like that same loudness, but a little deeper when crusing. Going to do the stage 1 obviously, but would like suggestions on type of exhaust i.e. true dual vance and hines, rhineharts, D and D's etc. Also looking to buy the sundowner deep bucket classic seat as well. Bought a rider back rest, but would like more support in my tail bone area. Good for about 150 miles, then it starts to go numb. Any one buy that same seat and like or dislike the results. Thanks in advane, Frank.

Give Jamie a call at FuelMoto. I wouldn't bother with Stage 1. It's a waste of money in my opinion. Call Jamie and he can set you up with a Power Package that is night and day better than Stage 1. I got the Fuel Moto tuner by Dynojet, I already had the Screaming Eagle Air Cleaner/Intake, and I got the Jackpot slipons. AWESOME setup, and I really like the sound. He's also a site sponsor. 877-729-4754. Call him. You won't regret it. He's good people!

Ride safe!

Take a listen to some Vance & Hines Monster Ovals.

Not the Ovals - the Monster Ovals.

I'll give Jamie a call. In regards to Rhineharts, my friend has those and not quite the sound I'm looking for. As for the Thunder Header and V & H monster ovals, I've tried listening on youtube, but too hard to tell. Shoud I go for slip ons first at a cheaper cost or go for the whole bang as for the exhaust system once I decide which route? Thanks for your responses.
