Hi, I have been looking for what seems like forever and flip flopping on what I want. I want 2-2 and right now I am leaning towards some Rinehart Crossbacks. Other choices being a radius pipe from either V&H, Cobra, or Python. Crossbacks being the expensive choice around here, Pythons being the cheapest option.

One other option has been the Freedom Performance Exhaust Sharp Curve Radius. There is one thread on here that complains of not being able to pull the dipstick. Of course this is concerning. Any feedback on this?

I have watched a lot of youtube for all the pipes mentioned, and I understand most will be loud and loud is relative. I dont mind loud but I dont want to be annoyed by my own pipes on a lengthy ride either. I don't plan on riding like a *** in town or anywhere really, so that's a consideration too I guess.

Any comments or suggestions on any of these would be appreciated. Loudness thoughts, baffle suggestions or possibility even , quality, and personal preferences would help. I would like to order something soon. I'm in Alberta and winter will be back in no time lol.

For info, It's a 2013 Wideglide, I have the fuelmoto micro tuner and an RSD Turbine intake on it now. Just need the dang pipes!

Thanks

 

I had freedom performance on my bike and the coating is very poor on them. I had the cross backs the fit and finish was excellent, I'm just not really fond of the Rinehart sound but that's just me. I ended up putting a bassani road rage on my bike.

 

I have the V&H sss w/BCT baff and since 2006 they have held up finish wise like new. That being said I like the look so I give up a little performance. I don't think they are loud but I did work on the fieild at Ohare airport since 1999.....

 

I was going to buy the Cobra Speedster pipes until a great deal fell into my lap on some V&H Big Radius 2-2 pipes. I dont think pipes should be anywhere near how expensive they are considering they are exhaust pipes bent in a particular way. I love the the Big Radius pipes but was not prepared to drop $800 on an exhaust.

The cobra speedsters sound great and are $550 in black. My buddy has a set of cobra pipes on his bike and has had them on there for around 35k miles and he says they are just fine. He loves them. Coating still looks good. It all depends on how much you want to spend. I like the look of the cross backs a lot, once again I could not justify that kind of money on them, and they also don't come in black. Would have required to me spend more money to get them powder coated.

with the crossbacks, if you dont already have forward controls you will need to install to put the crossbacks on. Personally i am purchasing the v&h propipe before spring breaks around here, better performance and sound.

 

I am running bubs straightaways 2 into 2 pipes . they give good performance for a 2 into 2 . Good mid range and top end. and the price is reasonable. got mine from phat performance online.

 

i ran V&H BR for a good amount of time, then later popped in the BCT baffles, i thought it was a bit loud with the new baffles but had a great sound. personally i am fan of the BR pipes on dyna if you go 2-2

 

I have the cross backs on my bike. They look good to me. Like previously stated you can't run mids with them. I plan on taking mine off soon though. I really want a thunderheader.

 

I have the python venoms on my wide glide and love em!!!
