Am going through the same thing on my 06 VROD Night Rod Special, been looking for quite a while, not much of anything found for my year and bike, wanted a totally black exhuast system to go with the chrome I already have on the bike, went to my local Harley place, and ended up ordering a clip on exhaust from thunder headers and the black heat shields from the Night Rod Special for 2011, so I will also add fuel management from HD and already have a KLN High Perormance air filter

I recently had LA Coppers pipes installed on my 10 Road King. I like the sound and the quality of the pipes. It provides a good sound, but is not obnoxious.

I am putting Vance and Hines big radius 2 into 2 pipes on my 02 Dyna.I should get around to doing the install in the next two weeks.I already have K & N filter plus rejetted carb.Which reminds me...does anyone want some low cost Vance and Hines Longshots for a Dyna Wide Glide:-)?

I too am in the market for a change in pipes this year. I've been looking at American Custom slip on's. They have interchangeable baffles and you can review the sounds of each online at thier site. Plus these are refurbished stock mufflers. The present plan is to pick up a set in April.

My Thunder Headers have a little bit of "Crackle"

Thanks for the valuable information my friend, I like the idea of being able to make adjustments.
