I like the V&H Straightshots. Not too familiar with the shortshots but my guess is that they are louder than the Straightshots. Probably for the deepest rumble, Rinehart's are the way to go.

+1. The Rineharts have a nice sound and are not as earsplitting as the V&H. But then I'm biased.

When people make videos with their bike idling in the garage it always sounds louder and better to me but doesn't really give you a true representation what it sounds like out in the open without garage walls affecting the sound.
