Default Best Sounding Slip-Ons with Cat

Just curious, (and yes I know there will be different opinions) which slip-on exhaust gives the best deep rumble Harley sound with the cat still on? I am running Samson Rolled Thunder right now, but looking for a deeper sound.

No matter what anybody else says, the HD Screaming Eagle Fatshotz mufflers are the very best in all the world. There, I said it....

I like the Rinehart 4" slip-ons. They sound good on my '11 RKC.

If I had know the answer to that question, I would definitely have bought them. I did put on a set of Pythons and they have plenty of character. Any more and I'd crying uncle!

Last year when I brought home my new 96" Road King I immediately phoned Fuel moto and listend to what they said and got the JP 4" dyno tunde mufflers. Incredible sound, very deep and lopy with stock cams and easy on the ears at highway speed. This year I changed things up and put on Rush TD's and it sounds like a turd now and with the cost of exhaust systems and my recent dyno tune I'm not about to change anything except wear heavy duty ear plugs, but that's a different story haha...

CFR's or V&H high outputs. I run CFR'S with the cat still in place. Very deep but 3 1/2" rineharts are louder.

Cary Fass Racing (CFR) slip-on's sound the best to me. Ive had 1 friend convert from his Rinehardt slip-ons, one from V&H big radius and one from a thunderheader after I had mine installed. They sound, look, and perform Amazingly with any header that I have heard them on including the stock 2-1-2 as that is what I have.

that is my 2cents
