Scavenging and reversion control prevent much of these issues from happening.
Reversion causes contamination of new fuel air mixtures, and robs horsepower and can make tuning an engine difficult.

Here's a real world example with the M8
Rican Biker had a SuperTrapp Bootlegger exhaust that caused some pretty bad reversion issues that lead to a lot of loss of low end torque in combination with his 475c Cam.
You can see as he holds up his DynoChart at 3:58 that the exhaust was causing some pretty bad loss of power making a noticable deadspot for his bike.

So in your opinion i should go for an exhaust 2 in 1 not 2 in 2 for having the best results such as the V&H big shots....i am looking to get more noise from the bike rather then performance so i dont want to spend money on some slipons in which after i install then i would not be happy with them, which they told me are good for me but iam thinking that a full exhaust will be better for more noise..

But If you dont want to loose any performance than look into a set that has some sort of reversion control in it.
The Cobra 909's for example are both a shorty pipe, and have scavenging design built in. When you remove the baffles they will be fairly loud, and wont cause performance issues.
But if you just like the sound and appearance of short shots, then just get those.
I wouldnt fear slip ons either. They get loud. Vance And Hines informed me that their Eliminator 300s will reach 105db which is loud enough to hear a few blocks away.
You should also be aware that the stock headers for the fat boy do have a crossover pipe built in. You can see it in the pictures below; It's the black pipe connecting the two pipes together.
So if you do go with slip-ons, there will be performance and noise increase. A lot of people like the TAB mufflers with Zombie Baffles. Rinehart, and Vance and Hines all make substantial noise. Enough to damage your ears over time.
I think you should probably go with the Shortshots since you seem to like them the most. IF that's what you like the most in terms of style, they will be loud, and I don't think you'll be disappointed with them.

Thanks alot for the great explenation !!!! I was asking if the 2 in 2 will cause any problem becuase i dont want to end up damaging something from the bike engine and as the difference from making shorts shots to slip on is just 400 euro its not alot of money and if the chance is getting more noise i would go for them.
by any chance you know how much db will be dfferent from eliminator 300 or 2 in 2 exhaust ??

I couldnt tell you when it comes to the noise difference, just that both are gonna be loud, and vance and hines told me that the 300s would definitely exceed the legal limit.

'19 FLFBS: Stage II...V&H short shots, SE intake, upgraded oil pump, SE tuner, SE torque cam, and a dyno. It's a bear.
Cut corners if you want, but why? Do it correctly like your first thoughts were going.
Quite a few cosmetic changes since this photo, I do need to update them.
