I need to hear yours sometime. I love the way they look! Made me wish I hadn't just gone straight back to the V&H straightshots to correct the chrome issue I had. 
About Cycle Shack slash cut 2-2's. Not to offend Howie, but I had those on my FXR2 for a while and took them off. They were loud enough to make my ears ring after an hour or so and they never did fit quite right. The rear pipe had a sag to it that I never could adjust out. Back to the noise, this was before I did the motor work--afterwards the bike was noticeably louder. If they were too loud for the rider with a stock motor, they'd be even worse with any mods. I could also drag the front (lower to the ground) muffler on a sharp turn.
I mean, I liked the way they look, myself. Still do, but functionally, I had some issues.
