Default V & H Big Radius 2-1 thoughts

I've convinced my wife that I "need" new pipes! Now on to my question.

I've got and '09 Fat Bob, Vivid Black, and am leaning towards the Big Radius 2-1, but the tailpipe seems very large and I'm not sure it'll look better than the 2-2 Big Radius.

I've never seen the 2-1 in person, so 1st hand accounts will help. The Fat Bob is a fat bike and, I think, the 2-1 will look good, but I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger.

Oh, Chrome will be the finish.

I know any pipe by V&H is a good one. I know the 2-1 is a good performer ...but I just couldn't get past the fact that the pipe looks too big on a Dyna. Went with the BR 2-2 on the Superglide.

My friend has the 2/2 on a rockerC and I'm sorry but I laughed when I saw the pipe blowing up dust in a parking lot one time! Sorry i have no real opinion on the pipes themselfs ,but I just had to remark that to you!
But I notice from various pics that the 2:1 has less of a downward angle.

I've always liked the look(s) of this pipe (BR 2-1) and would probably have it on my FLHX if they made it for touring...my vote is for 2-1 w/2-2 a close 2nd...

I kinda like the look of that pipe but just thought it was too big. I ended up with the V&H's 2-1 propipe and couldn't be happier with looks, sound, and performance. I picked up 15 HP with the A/C and having it tuned.
