Good day guys. After the "chrome project" will be finished (it'll take a few months) I'm planning to change the exhaust. At the moment I'm using Screamin' Eagle mufflers, not so bad but sound and performace aren't what I expect from BO.
I narrowed my choices to three options from an aesthetic point of view.
1) V&H Big Shots Staggered;
2) Samson Legend Series Slashers;
3) Cobra Speedster Slashdown.
They are similar in shape with minor differences in lenght and tips. This is the type of exhaust I like the most 'cause I find it has a clean profile and much less seen than Big Radius 2 into 2 (nice exhaust though).
Now, I know that Samson LSS can fit BO with 1/2 or 3/4 spacers to have appropriate distance from oil lines.
V&H website says Big Shots Staggered do not fit BO. Is it the same kind of problem of Samson exhaust (spacers) or it requires some mods in brackets?
I know nearly nothing regarding Cobra Speedster Slashdown.
I need your suggestions in term of quality, fitting and performance.
What would you do? Are there any other exhausts with the same silhoutte worth considering? If somebody has them on his bike I'd appreciate his feedback.

Check these out. I think the staggered version of the Lakesters or Straightaways would look badass on your Breakout...

Hi Francesco!

Reviewing your pre-selection I guess you don't wanna be compliant to European sound emission policies, don't you!?

 

Ehm...sound emission what?

Thanks for the link! I saw this exhausts somewhere in another thread and honestly they are nice but I find the way the tips end, a kind of vertical cut, less clean than slashdown types.

 

Lol whats that mean? I never catch any flack except from little old German ladies and one dude in Monshau who told me to go back to my Canadian forests. Lol.

 

LOL...That's what I thought. Probably no probs...as long as you and your bike stay in Italy

 

Apart from kidding, also here in Italy they pay enough attention to sound emission policies. You can have serious problems with cops. In fact I'd use QBs. I heard V&H Big Shots with QBs and found them not too loud but with a deep sound.

 

Big Shots Long are the answer if you can fit them.
A little different from everyone else.

 

Thans for the idea. I agree it would be different from others but I prefer a little bit shorter ones. Breakout has a nice rear end and wide tyre and I like it to be seen.
