Default Samson 2into1 Caliber or VH 2<1BP Pro Pipe?

&nbsp\\;
I just converted from a Bobber to a 2007 RoadGlide. I'm looking at 2 pipes: samson Caliber Series 2 into 1 with a 4 step header 1 3/4 to 3 (claims a 30-35% HP increase when tuned properly...I'm a little skeptical on the HP claim). The other pipe is the Vance and Hines 2 into 1 ProPipe. Over the years I've run Samsons and Vance and Hines on numerous bikes, so I'm not interested in a Samson versus VH debate - I have had success with both companies. What I am wondering is if anyone has run either of these two pipes on a bagger and what your experience is. I see by the specs that the Samson offers 2 VTech baffles but I believe the VH is one stationary baffle. The price is really close with the suppliers I deal with.
Thank you.

I run a V&amp\\;H Propipe BP on my Ultra.&nbsp\\; I like it and the bike runs great.&nbsp\\; Doesn't look as good as true duals though, it's a trade off.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
For what it's worth, I think there is a difference in the new BP design when compared to the older HS model I had on my Fatboy.&nbsp\\; I don't think the new pipe flows as well and doesn't offer the performance of the older one.

I'm fairly happy with the sound, looks, and performance of my V&amp\\;H pro-pipes. No problems with them.
