Thumbs up Slip ons versus full exhaust system

I am contemplating a new exhaust system for my 2011 superglide custom, and was wondering if most people are happy with slip ons or do you you soon want to change to a new full exhaust system. i am considering V&H short shots full exhaust system and rush slash cut slipons with 1.75 inch baffles. I like the sound of the rush slipons but wonder if it is a waste of money not to spend alittle more and go with full exhaust system. i appreciate any and all opinions.

Many start looking at an exhaust swap to reduce the heat (removing the CAT). You have some options, but think through it and save yourself steps. If you think you may want to go further down the road, might as well plan for it up front.

The head pipe is the real restriction in a stock exhaust. Slip ons will help sound but do very little for performance.
A 2-1 pipe performs best right across the board however they really shine in the mid range rpm.
I have a propipe going on. I like the looks and sound and 15 lbs/tq increase over the fat cat in the mid range is a nice plus. The fatcat has it beat for peak numbers though
There is a thread posted last week comparing the 2 pipes on the same bike.
