Answer
I think if you went out and asked a 100 harley riders the same question you would get a 100 different answers!
Find a bike that makes the sound you are looking for and ask them what they have. Then go with that.
The only thing you need to worry about is when you change pipes you make the bike run a little leaner. You bike came from the factory lean, so now its going to be even leaner.
The best thing to do is get a Dyna-jet kit. You should be able to install it yourself. Then you will get the sound you are looking for, richen the bike back up and get a little more throttle responce.
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
