Hey, welcome fellow Kansan. I was just in your neck of the woods on Saturday up at Helen's with a couple buddies. You're in for a treat on your new Harley. I rode metrics for 25 years and didn't meet anyone. In the last 18 months since I got on my first Harley, I've met all kinds of folks. Great times!

Hello and welcome, relatively new to the site myself.
As said before, listen to as many other pipes as you
can, save yourself time and money. I bought a 04 FLHT
when new with the intentions of just riding the crap out
of it and not touching it. Fives years later, multiple seats,
windshields, pipes, big bore, cams, heads, couple sets
of handlebars, tour pak, trailer, well you get the idea.
Good Luck and enjoy, hope your woman is very understanding.
Oh yeh pics would be good, and some of the bike too

Lesterd? as in constipated? lol
Welcome. I am new as well.
Got rid of worn-out GoldWing and picked up a RoadKing.
It already had SE intake and Rush slip-ons.
Not sure what it sounds like other than from the saddle.
Someday I will have to have someone ride it away from me so I hear what it sounds like to the rest of the world..
Keep ordering add-ons for your ride or waiting between UPS visits gets lonely...
You find yourself spending too much time at the Forum...

Time to go wash the bike. Rode in the rain yesterday

Welcome to the Forum. There are as many exhaust combos as there are member here. Define what you want. Loud, mellow, quiet..... Then there's the performance side. Depends alot on what you've done to your motor. Shop around, hit some bike nights, and listen at the bike hangouts/dealers for something you like, and then ask some questions. Most folks are very helpful.
