Default Side Shots vs. Short Shots

See lots of Sportys on here with Short Shots but none with Side Shots. Are these pipes not quite as good or ??

Please elaborate...

I also like the short shots, BUT everyone has them. Albeit with good reason, but still. I like the side shots, but they are considerably louder. Since they only have ONE bend, and point at the road, it kinda disrespects your right ear if you open it up. The short's at least blow the sound behind ya a little. Im actually sebating right now to either get sideshots or the V&H RSD Tracker 2-1.

The sides are also more expensive, could be some of the reason. Bottom line, I just think the short shots look a whole hell of a lot better. Not that the sides look bad or anything, I just think they look like plain.

I love the side shots, but they were $200 more.
