Cycle Shack vs. Python 3 slip ons

Does anyone have an opinion on which slip on will sound better and give me better performance? Waiting for my 05 Heritage Softail to be delivered. I think I'v narrowed it down to these two, unless one of you guys have another suggestion for slip ons.

Thanks in advance.

I believe the Cycle Shacks would perform better because of the back pressure that is provided by closed baffle design. And I have read else where about the increase in HP by using CS's.

I have CS's on my 2005 Heritage and I love them. They are loud but not too loud and they sound nice and deep in my opinion. Plus they are cheap. I found my on ebay for 35 bucks!!! Mint condition, brand new.

Thanks for the info. I am also planning on getting the stage 1 a/c and the download. Did you do the same or something else?

Thanks in advance

One other question I have. What is the part number for the CS slash or baloney cut slip ons?
