See below cut and paste from another thread. You can find similar performance for less from NZ and Aussie makers with a HansO free tune download, Commander IV with or w/o an Auto tune do some searchs and read a lot of threads. Helpfully the forum provides similar related threads posted at the bottom of threads to get you started.
For US you will have to go Carpenter or for International go here:

Mate, a valiant effort to help but how do you know any of this is what he's after. In fact, it's exactly what he says he doesn't want to do - spend any money. What model Rocket does he have? What vintage? How many pipes? By that I also mean does he still have a cat box or are they in the pipes? What other mods to the bike? What does he mean by "grunt? More top end, more bottom end or mid range? Make it sound more like a "hog"?
Until the OP can be bothered typing more than 11 words I certainly can't be bothered trying to read his mind.

Agree re OP post#1, hence the "carry a pig" quip, but I provided info for post#4 by a cashed up @rocket3rider to promote some antepodean goodness. I should have replied with quotes but they do clog up a thread.

Since you're (still) in the EU, Remus has a nice exhaust that works pretty fine an adds some growl/grunt to the engine noise.
