Default Exhaust Slip-ons Advice...

I just got a used 07 Road King Classic with 10,350 bone stock and sounds like a Volkswagon. My question is what slip-ons would be best for nice sound but not obnoxious? where I can't even hear myself think when I'm riding. I had previously had a 06 Sportster 1200C with a stage 1 kit and Vans & Hines slip-ons and when I ride for over two hours I felt like I was going deaf. Should I just leave them alone?

One other question, Is it required to re-jet/remap the fuel injection like the non fuel injection carb which I had on my 06 Sportster?

If you change either air or exhaust np, if you change both you'll need a stage 1 conversion.

I put a set of the Screaming Eagle pipes on my '09 Ultra and love the sound. Much louder and deeper than stock - surprisingly a great sound.

I put them on after I got tired of my V&H basic slip-ons, which aren't all that loud but drone on long rides. I figured that I would just have to deal with the stock type sound but I was pleasantly surprised at just how good a set of these sounded - and they're legal to boot!

I got CFR's on my SG. Nice sound but not stupid "My neighbors hate me" loud.

You're gonna luv 'em! You'll notice the deeper, slightly louder exhaust note right away; but the best part is that only get better with age.

I have the V&H twin slash rounds and love the sound and quality , but you should go around to some dealers or bike nights some place and listen to different ones for yourself , they will sound different on yours but should be close , it is all personal taste
