Installed Fuel Moto Ceramic lined 2-1-2 and 4" Jackpot Slashdowns, Pro billet air cleaner on my '10 Road King. Yes sir, it woke it up and it sings in a baritone nicely.

Listen ~ you're going to get a million different answers each time you ask about pipes. Everyone's ear and preference to the sound of the pipe is different. I have the 4.5 Pro Touring with the Jackpot header. I've been running that set up for about 2 years and my wife and I both love them. We take LONG tours on the bike too. The only time my wife complains is when I really crack open the throttle. It never bothers me but her sitting over the back of the bike probably puts her in a different position. Would I buy them again, without a question. I love the performance and the sound.
BTW, it's an easy install too!! Good luck!

+1 You may want to try this first. Removing your cat (or buy a de-catted off ebay..) will make your stock mufflers a little deeper & louder and benefit from less heat! Then decide if you need slip ons or not.http://www.ebay.com/itm/HARLEY-TOURI...4e6d21&vxp=mtr

I have the 4" slash-ups with standard baffles and find them throaty but not excessively so. I also bought a Quiet Baffle but have not installed it yet, and probably won't. When I had the 3˝" Jackpots I did have the Quiet Baffle installed and found it to be about right for those pipes, but the 4" with standard baffle seems to be a bit quieter. The noise level is right on the threshold for me which is why I haven't bothered installing it on the 4" pipes. Be advised that the Quiet Baffle is one baffle that fits the right side only. Be also advised that the Silent Insert, which comes standard with the Quiet Baffle, quietens it down too much and stifles performance noticeably--so I don't use it at all. It does come on and off easily, though, and there might be a use for them during long rides when you just want to lean back and have some quiet for a change. Beyond that one trial I haven't used them again.

I have the 3 1/2" straight cut Jackpots on my bike. The chrome is still excellent after about 60 k miles except where there is road rash. When they were new they had a nice growl while cruising but had a strong bark when I would really crack the throttle. Then the packing burned off and they got louder. I have the quiet baffle installed now and I'm happy with the sound.
I also have the Silent Insert that I use when I'm working so I don't make too much noise leaving in the morning or coming home late at night. It's louder than stock but not too much. Then, after I get laid off, I remove it.
