D&D fat cat and a Power Vision from Jamie at Fuel Moto! Most people who do slip ons eventually do a full system.

When you say a nice deep rumble do you want it loud? If so V&H is a good way to go. I've had V&H BSS and BR. Both sounded very similar but the BSS were deeper from the factory. The BR were a little tinney so I put some Big City Thunder Baffles in the BR and that made them nice and deep.
I eventually went with the Fatcat due to my engine work and I haven't looked back. The Fatcat has a nice deep tone and unique sound that I like.
Sound is very subjective so listen to some different pipes to decide what you like.

2:1... V&H Pro Pipe or D&D Fat Cat are a great choices. You'll get the best power, have great looks, they sound awesome, they sit below the rear footboards/pegs, and they extend a bit further back so the sound doesn't bother the wifey when she's riding along.
Good looking scoot - great job so far!

Thanks, I run a Power Commander and it has treated me well so far. This topic is almost like oil...well maybe not that bad but there are many opinions and many threads you can read through.
I had a feeling that was the case...if you don't want volume V&H would not be the best choice. I used to set off car alarms with my bike and even got cussed out by a lady for cranking my bike before she was ready. She was right behind me and bout had a heart attack then she laid one on me...LOL!
The Fat Cat is a little milder but will bark when you get on it. They also have a Quiet Baffle that several guys like although I have no experience with this baffle. As I said earlier sound is subjective. With the Fat Cat it seems you either love it or hate it. If you do like the sound of the Fat Cat it is arguably one of the best (if not the best) performing pipes and their fit and finish is second to none.
Maybe somebody else can comment on a pipe that has a deep rumble and lower volume.
