Don’t get me wrong. Stock sucks.
But you’re playing a game that you don’t have a clue about. Tuning is not something you read about on the internet and giver.
Not unless you have a fat wallet and by reading your posts, you don’t. Suck it up buttercup, take it in and get a professional to do what you want the bike to do. There’s a reason why they charge the amount they do. Skilled labor isn’t cheap and cheap labor isn’t skilled.
Plus, what you think the bike should be doing might not even be possible.

Russ, that dude may be awesome at what he does, no doubt, but he's a salesman that wanted me to upgrade my oil pump in a stock engine and wanted 1700 for cams. I'd cut the check, but it'd be rubber.

I haven't spent money on anything yet, more thinking out loud. My pipes are rusting through the new ceramic coat so I'm in the market and 2 into 1 is better performing.

Loud?? I have a D&D FatCat and its not loud at all and I have a 124" motor. Some of the guys here have heard it and I thing its pretty tame sounding. My V&H pipes were way louder. I cant even set off a car alarm.
