Take your stock baffles out and drill them, makes them loud but not obnoxious. The best sounding slip ons are CFR's...loud but rich sound, not harsh..

I also have straight through slip on fish tails on my 2013 Road King, but haven't yet posted a clip. The sound is very similar, but because I kept the cat intact......just quieter.

My ride has the 36" fishtails with 8" baffles. Tried it open, 4" baffles and now the 8" baffles. I like it with the 8" ones in there, takes the BARK out it, still LOUD when cranked, can drive by the cops with no prob and can still hear the stereo. Got the fishtails for about $110 shipped(NEW), baffles were about $15 for both.........looks good....sounds GREAT!!

I think I like this idea best at this time. I like the sound of the rineharts. But for that price I might as well wait and do a few full system after I save some money.

If ya leave the cats and just want slip-ons to make more noise: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-CHROME-D...b389d6&vxp=mtr
For cheap: remove the cat and keep the stock mufflers.
Best option would be a proper header with stock mufflers, until ya can swing a proper stage 1.

I didn't read every post...so FWIW, YMMV...
I have V&H True Duals, and Twin Slash slip ons. They sound OK...supposedly the louder of the V&H Touring slip ons. I think I wish I'd gone with the Monster Ovals or Rounds after hearing them. And, after a while on a long interstate ride, they get old to listen to, and drown out the stereo above about 70mph.

Straight pipes like Oldhippie suggest or similar would be the loudest, but be prepared to get hassled. V&H Tapered Slash-Cuts would be a close second then CFR's. Removing the cat from the stock header will also improve sound.
