Getting rid of the cat actually hurt my sound, I'm either gonna buy a another stock pipe with the cat or go with the Fullsac MX pipe, still trying to decide.

I also got the S&S MK45. Just enough for me. Don't want more. No drone at highways speeds but it sounds more throaty in general. Nothing that will annoy the neighbors but enough to make it sounds more appealing. With the baffles out, you can feel the thump in your chest but I prefer with the baffles in as it drones on the highway without them in. Most of the upgrade is in the low frequency bass range. More 'bassy' rumble than pop and crack. Which is what I like. Don't care for the loud firecracker-sounding exhaust note.

I had the VH eliminators in my 2017 limited for about a week or 160 miles loved the sound at idle but it was too loud in the morning and when I wore a helmet. To give you an idea of the sound with stereo at 2/3 volume I knew there was sound but I still could hear it. I changed them out to the SE. If you want sound go with these. In my garage I hit 110 decibels with a free app. The costs was around $495.

DO NOT under any circumstances put RC Components 4" slash up or slash downs on if you want LOUD.

They sound great, a little louder than stock and a lot deeper at idle with a healthy bark under full throttle with a nice mellow tone at cruise, but NOT loud.

YMMV

Check out westendmotorsports video section, large selection of 4 and 4.5 inch slip ons for the M8, nothing compares to hearing in person but their videos give a pretty good idea of what to expect. I think they are working on some head pipe comparisons also.

I got those put on in Sturgis, I like em!

Stock headers, so they are relatively tame, but any mufflers would be with the stock headers.
