The exhaust has been solid so far. I love the look and it has a nice note for me. It's aggressive but not very loud. For my taste, it strikes just about the right volume mix. I had the initial issue with the heat shield getting the mark that I mentioned above (developed a second spot like that too). While the swirling/scratch looking marks are still faintly present, the smudge portion polished out with some very mild chrome polish and haven't come back. I can't really tell where the issues were without close inspection at different angles. When I contacted MagnaFlow, they understandably wanted pics. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get anything to show up on the images. Photographing chrome is a treat
Thanks for checking Jtaliani. I appreciate it. I would hate to get the exhaust just to find out the passenger pegs wont work.

I can't make any promises, as I didn't mount them, but it seems to fit fine holding the peg and bracket up. On the Slipstream pegs, I would have a little concern about the proximity of the rubber to the muffler, but I think it would be just fine.

jtaliani--how loud is the F-bomb? Are you able to ride without it being really loud? I just ask this cause I love the sound from the sound bites I have heard. But where I live I can't have really loud pipes.

Thanks in advance.
Mike

V&H Big Radius 2to1 here. No fitment issues. Hung them myself, took about 2-3 hours. Oil line clearance is great than the stock pipes. Love these pipes btw.

I researched on here about the short shots and nobody has had fitment issues on a breakout.

No issues with fitment of V&H Big Shot Staggered on my 2015 Breakout.

I replied to the other thread as well, but just in case you don't see it, no I don't consider them to be loud for aftermarket pipes. They have a great sound, but are surprisingly tame for a shortie. In my opinion, like all great exhaust notes, you can really control it with your wrist. Even highway type riding it is pretty subdued with minimal drone. Tearing up some corners, it's aggressive enough to have some fun.

Damn, I was originally going with the Big Radius, but now that I've seen yours this may take a while to decided lol
