Default Cfr vs jackpots

Im looking for slip ons to replace my V&H ovals I like the sound of the jackpots but Ive also seen some videos of the CFR exhaust, they sound awesome nice and deep thoughty- I want them to be deep sounding but not obnoxious wake the neighborhood loud. Who has CFR or Jackpots can anyone give me some advice from experience with them.

Also in some videos I see CFR knockoffs.. does that mean there fake CFR's? Ive seen quite a few videos on youtube with these knock off.

I have CFR's love them, get compliments all the time. They are deep and loud when you want them to be.
Can't give much info on jackpots though never heard them.

Yes there are knockoff CFR's out there also, they are quite a bit cheaper but they fall apart fairly quickly

Why looking to change from the ovals? Too quiet, wrong sound? I'm trading for a set of ovals and curious what kind of noise/sound they have?

Default ovals

I bought the bike used so these pipes were the taste of somone else, I want a more deep grumble throught sound. The ovals are loud but not the type of loud im looking for. What are looking to trade for the ovals?
