YouTube is a great tool for sampling different exhaust sounds. Remember an exhaust on a bike started in a garage, or outside backed up to an automobile or a wall is going to give a deceiving sound. Best examples are in open driveways. Many will have examples of pulling out onto a highway and going thru the gears as well as driving by at speed.

[QUOTE=falconbrother;12208979]Look at true duals rather than mufflers if your really want the potato sound. I have tried several mufflers on my electraglide and, although I like the mufflers I have, it still has that sort of stock FL sound (which is fine with me).[/QUOTE

Case in point...take a shovelhead with a stock ignition, and you'll hear the 'potato' idle...install a single fire ignition, and that goes away. How do I know that? Cuz I did it!
My 2006 Street Glide doesn't have the classic potato idle. You can get closer to it with certain cams, but that's another story...
True story right there...

Listen to the SE Street Cannon mufflers. They have a great sound. This is what I put on my bike & I really like them. Does not void warranty. Don't even have to change air filter system or add download.

Sounds like you are wanting the sound from a good set of slip on mufflers. A friend put on a set of VH Twin Slash mufflers with the stock head pipe and the bike was louder and had a deeper rumble than stock but not as loud as my Rineharts with VH Power Dual head pipe which is catless.
