Here's my list, in 'sound preference' order:
Leo Vinci
V&H 'siamesed' tips
Enhanced bafflectomy (rear baffle ground out to edge of pipe, holes drilled in 2nd baffle)
2 Bros/ normal bafflectomy
Jardine
I haven't heard Satos, ARTs or D&D's on a hawk, but have heard the D&D's on a TL, and they do sound sweet on a twin vs an I-4. I'd love a set of the V&H or Leos, (does Termigoni make SH pipes???), but cost and the aggravation from the wife aren't worth it.

If you do the full bafflectomy, they can be as loud or louder than aftermarket. A partial bafflectomy (drill holes in inner ring) isn't as loud at idle yet still breathes well when given throttle but not to the point of the full bafflectomy.
I put ducati termignoni CF pipes on a VFR and they ROCKED! Sounded like two VTR's running sided by side but with the exhaust beat timing just a tad off. Suh-weet!
