Best Exhaust for Touring Models
+1 I have Rinehart Extreme Duals on my 2010 SG and Jackpot Dyno Tuned w/V&H Power Duals on my 2012 SG. 2 totally different sounding pipes. I had the Supertrapp 2into1 on my 2010, but didn't like the "unbalanced" look of only having 1 pipe.

This is worse than a "which cam is better" thread 
Anyway, I'm running a dragos 2 into 1. It makes more power and sounds great. Furthermore its affordable and looks good.
I agree about the unbalanced look but they make a ghost pipe so you have two pipes exiting at the rear

Everybody raves about their Rineharts. What about that annoying chirp I've been reading about that Rineharts are prone to on concrete surfaces? And what about the Rush pipes, or the Wild Pigs pipes? Two great options for the budget conscious. Any thoughts?

The best way to find the pipes that you like is to go to any large gathering of bikes, look,listen , and find the ones that would fit your style. Everyone has a different idea of the best pipes. Also consider what engine mods you have planed for the future. Thru out the years I have had V&H ProPipe, Rineharts, ThunderHeader, and D&D FatCats.

Rineharts have the chirp and also the chrome quality issues, or so I have read from time to time. I use to have a pair of those years ago, interesting potato-potato sound. Also some interesting sounds when I would run alongside concrete walls.
I just installed a pair of the Jackpot Pro Touring Muffs on my 10 Limited. I measured the sound level of the stocker, and the Pro Touring was about 2.5 dB louder. But man the tone is much, much deeper and really sounds great. From what I can see, the muffs are very well made, with stainless steel removable/replaceable baffles. I'am happy.
But your question is very broad and is subject to a wide variety of tastes, budgets, and other personal persuasions.

I'm a huge fan of Rush pipes. They sound really good and have a nice bark if you get the correct baffle size. Dragos 2 into 1 header and muffler is made by Rush to his specs. Previous to this system I had Rush slip ons and loved them.
