Take a look at the Widow Slip-Ons. Just installed a pair for a friend of mine on his 2013 Nightod and they sound awesome, nice deep rumble and sound good when you get on the throttle!

I'm a very particular person when it comes to exhaust sound. My chevy truck has had 3 mufflers on it until I found the one that sounded just right, turned out to be a somewhat custom made Flowmaster Super 44 dual in single out btw. So I'm pretty particular and pay close attention when I hear something that sounds really good. As far as a Vrod it's an engine like nothing else, the only harley with an engine of its kind so its hard to get feedback on what sounds good on them.
My brother has a Vrod and I gotta say it's not just one of the best Vrods I've heard but one of the best motorcycles in all. It's sporting a Thunderheader. An expensive exhaust yes, as far as look thats up to you. Fit is great, can still lean the bike into a corner as well as ever and not have the pipe scrape like my dyna does
So if it's amazing sound you're going for (i really do mean amazing) and great performance then Thunderheader has your poison.
plenty of videos on youtube that will give you an idea of sound, Thunderheader and Bassani Road Rage are both great, just depends on which look you prefer.

I don't see anything listed on the Thunderheader site for late model V-Rod.
Slip-ons are an easy option for the OP but the weight of the stock head pipes still remain. Some of the full exhausts can be quite loud and might be a problem. Exhaust note is important to me, I never did like the deep rumble.
If I was to get a slip on it would probably be a Supertrapp, for full exhaust I'm thinking about Akrapovic. There are quite a few options out there, keep looking.

Granted I have since sold the bike but I went with a set of SuperTrapps as soon as I got my V-Rod. You can adjust the sound by adding or removing the baffel plates and if you really want loud don't run any. Thats how my cousin runs his and you don't want to be behind him.
