Default Rocket Tip Mufflers

I am planning a long trip and want to quiet my bike down some. My V&H 4" mufflers sound great but are loud. I've always liked the old rocket tip mufflers, and thought they would look good on my bike, and may be a good alternative. I've seen reproductions from V-Twin and Paughco. Anyone use these on any of their bikes? I wonder how they would work on a 2012 Road King? Thanks, Joe

I have Kerker rocket tails. They are not loud. The ones you mentioned are...probably louder than what you have...

Thanks, but I was hoping to avoid spending $500 for slip ons... It was an expensive winter already.
