Default What pipes for new Fat Boy

New here, left my bio in the new member area. This may have been discussed. I could do a search or you could up your post count.

I'm waiting on a customized 09 Fat Boy.

What pipes do ya'll recommend. I've been recommended Vans and Hines and told to stay away from the Screaming Eagles.

What say you and thanks in advance?

EDIT: UPDATE:

I want to thank everyone for their input as you can see, I went with the Vance and Hines Big Shot Staggered.

What do you want? Loud? Deep? Performance or sound?

Great question and I should have added that.

Is there is a happy medium for all 3? I'm hearing more and more positives for the Vance and Hines.

And explain the difference between deep and loud? Obviously I don't want to sacrifice performance first and foremost and it doesn't have to rattle windows when I roll by so in order,

Performance,
Deep and then
Loud.

?

I put a D&D Fatcat quiet baffle on my '06 Fatboy. Good sound, quality, and power.

What do you mean, look at my numbers. These pipes are one of the main reasons, check my dyno sheet in my album 95 big bore. These pipes played a significant role in attaining the HP AND TQ i achieved for a 95" build, my builder is a great advocate of these pipes. I believe he knows his buisness. Now its your CALL!!!

I really liked the Samson "Big Swoopies" I put on my 2007 Fat Boy. They won't make the dyno numbers a 2 into 1 will, but the bike was still plenty fast for me and these pipes have a great look and sound.

Guy down at my local shop put a set of chrome crossbacks on his fat boy. I happened to be there when he picked it up. Great looking/sounding set of pipes. Made me want to go out and buy a fat boy. Here's a set of black on a nighttrain.
