Default New bike need help on pipes

OK I just sold my bobber with super loud pipes and bought a 2012 Ultra> Now its time for the pipes to be done but I have no idea on what to get. I just want a set of slip ons for now but want the sound. The stock pipes sound like a mini bike. Im looking at Rineharts

You might like the stock pipes if gut the cat. Try that first then see if you want new mufflers.

+1 what on what Danny suggested. You can't go wrong with the Rineharts either, if you really want to change the cans.

Personally I prefer the V&H slip ons over Rineharts.
THey don't seem as "brassy.

Sorry to bust in on the thread, but I have a '12 ultra. Is gutting the cats a difficult task?
