I too have been looking for the sound i like.
stock too quiet
jackpot with fuillsac 2.25" cores = poppy sounding, not deep
jackpot with MK45 without baffle = deep at idle still a popping/bark but too loud for me
jackpot with Mk45 and DB killers = best so far for me but not happy. Right side is still a louder pipe and it still has that higher toned popping/bark sound when on throttle
My plans were to change to the Fullsac MX header in hopes the crossover helps make better use of the left pipe and gets a deeper tone. The jackpot is much like the oem which is a 2-1 with that weird 90 degree tag in for the left side.
I am running the woods 222 cam as well.

I believe my Rinehart 4.5 do not have a popping bark as you describe, I did have w Cannons.. I have a 117 kit Sage III.

I have the street cannon's and stage II torque cam. Sounded pretty good, but once I put the Jackpot head-pipe on, the volume is definitely there. That cat really chokes things out. Still not crazy about the Cannon's, but if you want loud, the cat-less head-pipe is a step in the right direction - lowers the note also. Will probably try the V&H slip-on's next, as the tinny sound of the cannon's were really exaggerated once I put the new head-pipe on.

I just can't see the extra$$$ to chase a little bit more performance and sound.
Plus, the M8 pulls like a freight train. I'm very happy with it.

Exactly what I'm doing. Just put some Jackpot M8 slip-ons from fuelmoto last week. I really like them. Decent at idle, and wake up when ya roll on the throttle.

I talked to fuel moto yesterday about their jackpot head pipe, they didn't do a good job selling it to me. The guy basically said a decatted stock head pipe is almost as good, said sound change from stock is only a couple of decibels. $500 for a couple of decibels doesn't seem like a bang for the buck deal. There is a guy with 100% positive feedback on eBay selling decatted M8 heap pipes for $150. That may be the best route to get the small benefits and save some cabbage.

Having a factory pipe on hand if you sell the bike or need to go back to stock is also worth something.

I went with Vance & Hines 4" Twin Slash Rounds. Not loud, but louder than stock and much deeper tone. Appears to have improved my MPG, but I have only filled up once since installing them Friday. I am perfectly satisfied with this on my Ultra Classic, as the wife and I plan to do some serious touring with this bike (nearing retirement) in the near future. I really like the Ultra this way, just enough noise and rumble to assure me I'm on a Harley. I have my '07 RK for making noise when I want !!!

Love the sound from my V&H Hi Outputs and Power Duals headers.
The headers make a massive difference as well as getting rid of the cat and the associated heat...
