A lot of good advice, thanks. A bit impressive every single one of you said to stay away from the slip ons, so I think I'll follow that bit of advice ;-) As for the actual pipes, I'm looking to keep the two-two straight look on the right side of the bike. Ultimately it'll come down to how much money I walk away with after deployment.
Again, if yall have suggestions on specific brands, at least that'll give me a starting point for research. Looking for something with a nice deep sound, but not quite so loud that it'll wake the neighbors up.
Thanks again,
Dave

Same here, forget the slip-ons you will likely end up with new pipes eventually. Just surrender to the dark side now and start spending!!!

Hey folks,
I'm looking to get a 2011 Softail Deluxe next year (my first). I have no experience with upgrades/accessories, as my first bike was a '84 Honda VF700C, so I'm looking for suggestions/advice one what to get initially with the bike. I figure I'll start out with a passenger backrest an a basic stage one kit w/ a SE air cleaner, pipes, and EFI remapping. Money may be a bit tight initially, so I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for the best sounding slip ons for around $300 or so.

Then ride it for a couple of years and put on what you find out it needs, if anything.
