Header Pipe Poll

Header Pipe Poll
About to choose a head pipe and have been reading LOTS of posts here about everyone's favorite header pipe for one reason or another. I read where someone said, step back and look at what is most important to you before picking a pipe. This is good advise, then I realized there is no real comparison between brands/models for choosing of a pipe. The folks on this forum are just incredible in their expertise and experience and truly like helping others. So I ask for help being a newbie in the header market. I know everyone is different and there is no correct answer as to the best pipe but how do the most common ones compare.
I, like many, will probably have a muffler with the tone they already like and should, at some point, upgrade their intake filter and mapping.
Variables:
Candidates:
9: Aesthetics (Looking to keep the stock appearance)
7: Louder Sound (A little more bark is always nice)
5: Power Increase (I know there wont be much, but it should have some increase)
9: Product Quality (I think most of the manufacturers are good quality or they would not be here)
8: Fitment (This does make the install faster with no leaks)
Any help or opinions are useful. I will be calling the manufacturer once my choices have been filtered.
Thanks.

Personally, I like Rush Racing Ceramic True Duals.
Their customer service absolutely CAN NOT be beat.
I pair them with Rush Big Louie 4" mufflers, 2.5 baffles. I have never heard a negative comment, and every one that rides with me the first time claims my bike "Sounds like a Harley should" or "Man, I REALLY like how that sounds, what mufflers are those?"
Merely my experience.
Rush 7017 or 7117
