Roadhouse Dooleys, and if I can rejet, it must be a no-brainer.

Roadhouse 2 into 1
KNN filter in stock air box
AIS system removed
no rejet, but did turn out PMS screw about a turn to reduce the odd backfire in colder weather

I got the roadhouse purely for the sound. Its a low rumble, louder and totally different sound than stock, but not too loud for the neigbours. If the neighbours were no issue, I would have got the 3" Hardchrome pipes, but they are way louder.

If you like the style of the roadhouse two into one, then I definately give them a thumbs up. You can get the non serrated heat sheilds up front for a more regular look.

bub stubbies with baffles...awesome pipes, no rejetting turned pms out 1/2 turn or so...not super loud when cruising but they scream when you really open it up....i did notice a lot more noise from my valves after putting the stubbies on, probably because the pipes are so much shorter

Vance and Hines Pro-Pipe, AIS gone, Mr. Cancillas K&N filter, ported manifold and rejet. Just did the manifold and rejet this weekend and haven't ridden it yet so no report on how I did.

Pro-Pipe is nice mix of more power and not a ton of sound unless you grab a handful.

I am running HK K2 2.75 inch with no mods to the carb.
I love the sound and performance. I idle out of my neighborhood, usually grabbing a higher gear to be quiet. No complaints so far.
