It sounds a hell of a lot better! to me short shots are to high pitched and sound like doo doo... The Theader is plenty loud but has a deeper tone.

Here's a thread discussing the V & H SS vs T-Header.

I had the V&H side shots. They are exactly the same volume wise to short shots. I now have a 2 into 1 and can say its not nearly as loud but is still loud.

I went from V&H Short Shots to a Thunderheader. The Short Shots were louder, but, the Thunderheader sounds better. No regrets.
