Default Rinehart vs. Bub 7's

I need some input on the differences between the Rinehart true dual and Bub 7's. I am having a S&S gear drive, cam, power commander installed this winter but right now the hang-up is getting pipes. I have run Rinehart in the past and loved them. Rineharts are not available at this time and Rinehart does not have a release date. The Bub's are now available and from what I understand are very much like the Rinehart in power gains and sound. Is it worth the wait to put on the Rinehart, is Bub a better set-up, or is is six of one and half a dozen of the other? Input? The Bub's can be heard here..near the bottom of the page: http://bub.com/

FWIW, I had Rinehart TD's on my '07 too. I just sold 'em (accident on 4/25/08 killed the bike, and nearly me too) and when I get my new bike, will be going with the BUB 7 TD's. The sound is virtually identical (to me) and they look pretty clean as well.

The price is probably comparable to the Rinehart TD's.

If' you haven't watch their video...you should.

Same company. BUB 7's were brought over from the racing side.

What do you plan on changing. Is your plan to go to a true dual or just slip-ons. if you are just using slip-ons the rineharts slip-ons will fit 09. I personally have the Bub7 because I wanted something diffrent from the last bike. The slash cut accent on the pipes look good and they sound Great. Not as loud as the Rinehart True Duals though which is ok with me still load enough to be noticed.

sounds like the Bub 7 true duals are just as good as the Rinehart true duals. With one ready to go and the other still waiting, kind of sounds like a no brainer for the Bub 7's

Plunk, what model & year bike do you have? I've got them on mine, but I'm thinking about going over to a 2-1 setup to compliment my build. If I go that direction I'll be looking for a good home for the Bub's.

i think the bub 7s are a smaller diameter header pipe--1 3/4 vs. 2in on the rhineharts
