Default V&H Big Shots 2 into 2 vs Big Radius 2 into 2

I'm going to do a few mods in the next few weeks on my 2012 FXDWG. Going with a set of Harley bags, SE A/C and as of now Cobra PowerPro 2000 auto tuner. My question is, whats your take on V&H Big Shots vs Big Radius? I like the looks of both, but I'm leaning more toward the Big Shots.

big shots are one of the best sounding and performing pipes you can get in a 2-2. They even come close to a 2-1 as far as performace. Check out directharleyparts.com

Watch inside pipe diameter, 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 for Your engine best proformance. Cant beat a short 2/1 pipe. Look at R&B exhaust.com , Bassani 2/1 short is great.

I have the big radius and love them but probably not the best choice for performance

the big shots are deeper sounding, there is a little h chamber about 3'' in the middle of the pipes. on my stock 96 we dyno them against the bassani road rage there wasn't much difference. big shots made 2hp more & bassani 2tq more. did drive by comparisons and the big shots won hands down. and at I/2 mile away you can still hear them. the bassani was not there. so I sold them.

I decided to go with the Big Shots, Big Sucker and SEPRT. I'm Happy.

your looks nice!! the way the pipes follow the frame and stop at the rear shock. I turned my ends out so it kept the soot out of the rear wheel.

I like them both but as you can see I settled on the BSS. The sound was great with the stock baffles, but a little bit louder with the BCT Monster Baffles that I have in them now.
