I have Vance and Hines Big Shot Staggered on my Softail. They look and sound awesone though my wife may say they are too loud. They are loud but I like them. I wondered the same question for pipes before I bought mine, which ones? I read and watched hundreds of opinons on pipes as I could not sit in front of a dealer and listen to other bikes (nearest dealer two hours away). It is true videos don't do justice for pipes but you can listen to different pipes with a grain of salt and it will help. Good luck.
