Default D&D exhaust question for the experts

Hey guys im new here this is my first post.I have a question
here is my info
07 street glide with the following
103 SE kit
HTCC CNC ported Heads
HTCC pistons
SERT
260 cams
SE 50mm throttle body
the problem Vance&Hines true dual Big Shot exhaust!!!
When I first got the exhaust I loved it. looked good sounded good then I did the above motor work the exhaust cant handle the motor work now tooooo restrictive and OMG loud. thebaffles are in!!!! I'm the guy the usually cuts the baffles down inch by inch to get the sound I want or even switch to Kromewerks HP baffle then trim them down.

I called D&D talked to a tech guy he told me that the Boarzilla with the quiet baffle was what I needed for my application, but that it would still be too loud for me...ok wonderful
so I asked about the Fatcat he said since I was running 10:50 to 1 compression that wouln't be the right exhaust for my application no matter which baffle I picked.

what do i want???? the right set up,good sound,better performance( the $$$ is spent I have the engine set up I have ) I want to hear the tunes again.I have it Blairing now to hear at highway speeds. I want the better performance obviously without the obnoxious loud exhaust if that is possible.trust me I like it to sound good!!!I want my SEG back!!!
I want your best advice with a D&D exhaust set up.my lean is to get the fat cat and play with the different baffles. I know that some of you guys are running the fatcat with built motors. which baffles????
I have researched this to death even a V&H rep told me on the phone to either get the D&D exhaust or the thunder header( but I didnt hear that from him)not his pro pipe BP with my engine set up I wouldn't be happy. my local HD shop has told me to get the SuperTrapp mega whatever 2 into 1??? but I dont like thesound or looks!

Hey Dutch, I'f ya get the FatCat, just get your self a glass-packed type automotive cherrybomb muffler, and with a little welding and fabbing just bolt that thing right up to the header. I't a deep rumble and the sound that comes out when it's turning 5 grand will make any motorhead stand and take notice.
My glasspack is 2.25 ISD, 4" OSD, and about 24' long. I've made sooo many differant baffle for the fatcat, and this one is the best. It's about as load as R/H true dual w/standard baffles.

Don't listen to the D&D guy............the Boarzilla is way too much exhaust for your build.

Go with the Fatcat and quiet baffle............you'll love it.

I have the Boarzilla, and it is not too much pipe for the build, but it was LOUD !

I have made an adapter and have slipped a Supertrapp 4" discholder into the Boarzilla muffler end and married it to the baffle with a short piece of 2-1/2" pipe. It looks, and sounds great , has cut the loudness in half, and has moved the torque down a bit in the rpm range. Anyone with a 4" muffler interested in trying this send me a PM, I have the adapters that will work and it looks much better that the tapered supermeg muffler.

The Boarzilla for a 107 is overkill, go with the Fatcat.

I have Phil's FFatcat on mine and love it but it is a bit loud to hear the tunes unless they are cranked, I am looking at tearing it apart and putting the packing in it, but that has to wait for some warmer weather.

BTW, i too run a fatcat on my 107, and it rocks !!!!! i have no trouble hearing the tunes at road speed over the exhaust, but over 85/90, you cant here them anyway. since i put the fatcat on my bike, i have sold four other fatcat systems to my brothers.....
