Default 03 Sportster Exhausts?

ok, im fairly new to buying aftermarket stuff for Harleys. ive been around bikes and know what look/sound i want but im having trouble finding a selection of exhaust manufactures for my particular year. now i know that is the last year of the hard mount EVO engine. i didnt know that til i started lookin for exhausts.

i like a dual exhaust (no 2 into 1s)
i like my exhaust to end together at equal length.

that is really it but the tough part is, all the only exhaust i have found that meets what im looking for is the Bassani Sweeper pipe. i have 2 concerns about this pipe. 1. how loud is it really? im just concerned about getting stopped every time i go for a ride because of how loud it is. 2. if that rear pipe is gonna spit fire at all because of how short it is length wise.

I like V&H but for the year bike i have, they dont have the pipes i want.

can anyone help me out and suggest any other exhaust manufactures that make exhaust for my year bike, without being some custom exhaust. i am on a bit of a budget?

or

if anyone has the Sweeper pipes on their bike, if they can tell me if they get stopped or harrassed because of how loud they are?

thanks for any info!

Bassani Pro-Street
Sawed-off attitude brought together with breakneck performance, that's what Bassani Pro Streets are all about. Pro Street pipes feature a stepped header design with stout 16gauge steel construction, flawless show chrome finish and Bassani's unique tunable flow-through baffle system. These systems are available with either slash or straight cut tips, with or without an optional set of heat shields. Get it right the first time, get a set of Pro Streets.
We also can get these pipes in a thermal black finish. Call NRHS for details



1986-2003 Sportster Mid-Control Straight Cut
77-1800-1011 - $469.00







1986-2003 Sportster Forward Control Slash Cut
77-1800-0647 - $469.00

Cool exhausts?

yeah! go to ebay motors and shop sportster exhausts. also check on-line at jp cycle, they have great sellection, but you can save big bucks on ebay motors, if they don't have what you want, wait a week and check them again!

Lick's Cycles has something like six different exhaust setups for the '86-'03 models with just one search. They have pipes from slip-ons to Bassani Pro-streets, to Nightmares, to Wet Dreams, to some old school up swept ones.

thanks fellas! some good info so far. im really torn right now on my decision. I like the Bassani Pro Streets alot. however, i have the mid controls on my bike and i made a front peg that mounts where forward controls go for when im on the highway. now looking at the Pro Streets with the mid controls, i would have to remove or relocate that front peg. now the Nightmarez by Licks are sick as hell. so now im torn between 3 pipes. i still love the Sweepers, Pro Street, and now the Nightmarez... now i just need to decide what to go with.
