Default need to get pipes...sound?

anyone familiar with the V & H Big Radius 2 into 1 ? If so how would you rate the sound of the exhaust ? I plan to put them on an HD 103.

Videos will help but the best way, if you're near any, is to go to a dealership or indie shop and see if there's any there with those pipes.

I know my pipes don't sound like the video because they're a lot louder in person. You just don't hear that in a video.

Give the Bassani 2 into 1 Road Rage pipes a listen before making a decision.

With out a doubt, the UGLIEST exhaust pipe ever made.

Looks like somebody stuck a big old black sewer pipe on the bike.

The wife has the v&h 2 into 2 on her bike like COC has in his avatar, they look really good, and they sound great, but they are definitely loud. I have heard the 2 into 1 pipes, much quieter, a different sound for sure.

Agree ^^^ Wonder who designed those. They may work from a performance stand point but the look is dreadful. I went with a V&H Staggered Straightshot with BCT Thunder Monsters on my FXST and the sound is more than I could expect and just right (for me).
