Big Radius VS Rinehart

sfetty · #1 05-31-2008, 09:48 PM

Just bought a 08 SE Dyna. Torn between two sets of pipes...V&H Big Radius and Rinehart 2 into 1. I have heard the Big Radius on a Softail. Have heard other models of the Rinehart but not the 2 into 1. Loved the volume of the Big Radius but liked the sound quality of the Rinehart better. My only worry is if the Rinehart 2 into 1 will be loud enough. I want motorists to hear me coming for quite a distance. Please offer your opinions!

DO NOT USE EIGHTER!!! I personally like the sound quality of the sampson pipes (like the ones on "GBECK'S bike) or the cobra speedsters that I have on mine, I have a hard time telling the difference between the two in sound or looks.

Have you thought about the V & H longshots. I love them on my 07 SE Dyna.

I got the big radius 2 into 1 and i love them! The sound is unbelievable, 94 hp 117 torque.

I had a chance to hear the Big Radius 2 into 1 last year, and I wasn't too impressed with the sound personally....

I'm also not a fan of the 2 into 1 look but the Big Radius 2 into 1 does look really good!
but if you're looking for performance the 2 into 1 is the best way to go.

I just ordered the Rinehart cross-back exhaust for my CVO springer, it should be arriving tomorrow!

I have a 07 SE Dyna with V&H BR 2:1. VERY deep, very loud rumble sound. I like the Rhienhart 2:1 "tone" better at idle and low RMP's but like the V&H BR 2:1 "tone" at highway speeds, or when gettin it on.

When it comes to looks and finish, the V&H BR 2:1 is without a doubt the most impressive pipe on the market and it looks FANTASTIC on the SE Dyna's. Much higher quality pipe than the Rhienhart and it WILL NOT blue as the Rhienhart's do (end caps). I added the S&S Single Bore Tuned Induction System (with the two open air cleaners) to mine and it is guaranteed to TURN HEADS everywhere it goes.

Bottom line - both are good pipes and both will look good on the SE Dyna. I'd give the edge on sound to the Rhienhart's and in terms of looks andperformance, theV&H BR 2:1 wins hands down.
