I had my dealer install my 4" Rinehart slip ons while the bike was in for the 1,000 mile service. They charged $35.00. Ask your dealer what they would charge. The sound is deep and nice, you will be heard, but not obnoxious. No problem hearing the stereo. I'm not sure how different the 3 1/2" would be.
There isn't much to it, the last set I did myself took just over half an hour.

Seriously, as others posted, pipes are one of the "easiest" self-upgrades and I don't understand why any owner/rider doesn't perform the work.
Removal:
1. Remove bags
2. Remove 4-bolts (2/per side)
3. Loosen muffler clamp - pull & twist muffler/pipe to remove.
Installation:
1. Re-use muffler clamp (if good), or buy new (2ea).
2. Slip clamp onto muffler.
3. Line "inner" opening of muffler/pipe with HT silicone (liquid copper).
4. Slide pipe onto header - ensure it's on "beyond" crimp groove.
5. Secure muffler to bracket with bolts & lock washers & tighten to 96 - 144 in/lb.
6. Position & tighten clamp to 38 - 43 ft/lbs.
7. Install saddlebags.
Ride for ~50-miles & check/re-torque to spec (listed above).
