Ok so I've tried buying vance & hines for my 2010 suzuki boulevard m50 and no shot anywhere.

I even called v&h and they told me they don't make anything for m50s for 2009 +. I called again and was told they don't sell anything for 2009+ boulevards. Plus they tell me that they don't know if anything older will fit my bike and I should try cobra exhaust.

Does anyone know what will fit 2010+ for exhaust and sounds good??

Like you, I could not find other after-market exhausts and had Cobra's on my M90.
They were much lighter than the stock, sounded good and with the quiet baffle the db level was not overly intrusive. Nevertheless I was careful not to rev it up while passing through the Forks of the Credit or other places with strict noise regulations.
Also I had dyno tuned the bike after fitting the Cobra's.
(The bike has another owner now)

Yeah I've been told by many people once I put in a k&n filter and exhaust I gotta get a power commander or dyno. Seems a bit much bit I'm guessing they run lean with more air.

I opened up the breather and exhaust on my M50 and installed a Power Commander. Didn't notice a bit of difference, removed the Power Commander and still no difference. IMHO don't waste you money on a Power Commander. Your bike's ECU will adapt engine management to accommodate more air and less exhaust pressure - may not wring ever ounce of power out of your config, but a it should run smooth and trouble free. I wouldn't expect you would notice the difference in performance, an M50 is about 45HP, you might wring another 2-3hp with the breather and pipes -- even the best tune will only up that by 1-2 HP.

Well said and my experience with the M90 and the Cobra exhausts bears this out.
The gains of the Power Commander are minimal.
Right out of the showroom and with the stock exhaust, the Boulevard is tuned "lean" and the Cobras make the condition worse. This is more noticeable at small throttle openings.
My objective in adding the Power Commander and dyno-ing the bike was to eliminate the resulting jerkiness at low throttle openings.
(I have owned both chain & shaft drive bikes, IMO the shaft drives give the impression of being more sensitive to driveline snatch).
It is a personal preference and most definitely not a required essential.

If you have allot of popping when engine breaking after changing exhaust/intake then the power commander will help. I put one on my street bob with a map i downloaded from their website for a similar set-up and it helped. I wouldn't say any of it created tons more power. Just sounds nicer and maybe a bit smoother and quicker but nothing crazy noticeable.
