These are what I bought... Under $200 and they look/sound just like Rineharts. Not to mention they have a chrome tip instead of a black one. I am very happy with them.

Thanks for the replys guys, Yes I realize thats how Harleys sound STOCK!! But I want that low Harley rumble. Don't want too loud as we have a heritage hear with VH straights and its super loud, but not the low rumble. Boss also has an 03 Ultra with SE pipes and it is perfect. But it has big bore kit(95"), programmed, intake, true duals.
I like the price of those ebay mufflers, may have to try them. Just as I see alot, I dont want to buy some and not like them, be changing multiple times before i find MY sound!! end up spending ALOT more in the long run.

Before you spend any money, have someone you trust ride your bike and go past you while you stand along the road.
You may be surprised at how good your bike actually sounds to other people.
When you are on the bike, you don't hear it as others do.

That is a very true statement. You have to decide whether the sound you want is what you hear, or others hear. I would imagine the former. Sound also bounces around behind a windshield, so changing/moving it will alter the sound. I have heard that dealers will have a bunch of take-off stock mufflers that can be had for free or minimal cost. Give you something to experiment with without destroying your stock mufflers.

I still have the stock header and I installed a big sucker air cleaner with the stock football cover. Videos always leave a little tone out... It does sound good. Nice and deep rumble. The video is real close, though.

As subjective as it is, do you think this exhaust sounds like a harley?

I'd probably have 4" jackpots if not that I already have V&H monster rounds.
Enjoyed the sound of my bike getting dyno tuned today- exhaust sounded real nice.

EBAY!
I picked up a set of Bassani megaphone slip-ons for $100. The deals are out there if you are patient and don't mind getting used parts. I figure I am going to put miles on them anyway so what the heck is the difference if they are new or used with 1000 miles. I tell you what the difference is: More money in my pocket.
