Default 03 Std Softail...Help me with the sound!

On my 03 Standard, new to me this year, I had Screaming Eagle II slip ons (came with them). I did not like the quiet sound so put some cycle shack slip ons. I eventually took the baffles out of them. I don't particularly like the sound of them. I still yearn for the deep, bassier sound I have gotten from previous bikes (dyna and RoadKing). Even my wifes 883 with cheap slipons sound better.

Also, I swear there is a background, ticky-ticky noise from the exhaust when excelerating. Its clearly not engine noise. It has been there with both sets of pipes tho. Any ideas?

I just want a deep, semi-loud (or even loud) exhaust system....I'm not looking for performance.

Any recommendations? (preferably w/o breakin the bank). Thanks

Yup, that's the way to go for your standard.

I know there are some threads where folks are trying to get something different because they are sick of seeing V&H. But ya know what? They're popular for a good reason. They sound awesome.

V&S pipes sound the best. I have the Big Shot Staggered on my standard they sound and look great. Also the Big Radius are good too.(buddy has them)[sm=crossbonesgif.gif]

My buddy has V&H's (or some brand made by them) and they are not loud enough for me.

Want that DEEP loud sound
