What model Harley did you get will help the discussion.

My dealer recommended the Vance and Hines Eliminator 300's. I got to listen to them on a Low rider, they had a nice deep tone.

I'd stay with a quality brand and.........remember what sounds great to one person is annoying to another. If you buy el-cheapo and don't like it, you will have a hard time selling it.
Look for sound clips on YouTube.
Better yet try to attend a few bike nights and ask other riders if you can listen to their exhaust tone.......
Good Luck

I would guess as long as it's the same engine (107) that it doesn't matter what bike it's on. Is this correct? As in if I hear any Harley 107 with a certain set it will sound the same on mine?

Engine mods...... cams and such, along with aftermarket headers will produce different tones. Touring bikes mostly have 2-mufflers stock. Seems like M8 Softails come both single and twin mufflers, so exhaust tones will very between the two styles.
M8 single muffler Softails like the Sport Glide may be harder to find more examples.

S&S Cycle Slash Cut Race Chrome Slip-On Mufflers
550-0739 Sound real good. You can leave Decibel Reducer in or pull it for more sound.

I have Cobra Neighbor Haters on my 2019 Heritage. They are not nearly as loud as the name would suggest; they have a nice sound when cruising and a louder tone when you get on it

I put Eliminator 300's on my 2019 Deluxe. I lost a ton of torque and had some random O2 faults. I installed quiet baffles, and that fixed the problem. While the E300's with quiet baffles are nice, they are very "polite". I wanted a tad more volume and a deeper tone, so I'm trying TTI's with no baffles, and both baffles with the packing removed. I started experimenting two days ago, so I'm a long way from making a determination. One thing I know for sure, the E300's with TTI's and no baffles are loud as hell.
