Default Python exhaust

Called the guys over at fuel moto today and was asking about some slip-ons. I want to do slip-ons now just for sound then add a a/c true duels and tuner in the future. He suggested python which I guess is a value Vance and Hines pipe. I only have about $450 to spend. Looking for thoughts and/or experience with python pipes or suggestions. Oh it's going on a 2013 road glide custom.
Thanks guys

I put them on my 12 SG. I love them. Sounds good and not too loud. Best bet is to find someone who has them near you and hear them for yourself.

See I am looking for obnoxious when I want it but I can still idle out of the neighborhood in the morning.

I had Pythons on my Limited with dresser dual head pipes. Sounded good. Little obnoxious when you wanted but the problem I had with them was when I would set the cruise, say 70ish, and start going up a hill they would start to crackle loudly. Was ok for a year but the second year I couldn't take it anymore. Don't know if it was the dual head pipes or just how the mufflers were. Sold them and put on a set of V&H dual tip rounds. Sounds great and have a deeper tone. Takes a lot more to get them to start crackling.

Pythons came on my Roadglide when I got it. I thought they sounded great. Found they were at 96 decibles, highest we can go on Maine inspection. Sold them to a buddy and he loves the sound.

I am very happy with my Python Predators. Chrome still looks new. Sound is better than most IMO. Nice idle rumble with a good blast when I lay into it.
