I think you should at least listen to some of the choices. In my opinion, all pipes look pretty good, but I'd hate to have an exhaust that I don't like the sound of. To me, that's more important because I hear my bike far more than see it.

I was all set to buy a Big Radius two into 1 until I heard a set. I was still looking for my perfect pipes and came across a set of Screamin' Eagle II slipons on ebay for $75 to use temporarily, but like the sound so much, I haven't changed to full pipes.

 

So I went in today to my dealer to get a quote on the python radius. Turns out they don't make them for a 2013. Something to do with the oxygen sensors won't work.

 

I didnt much care fo the looks of the 2-n-1 either, but it is starting to grow on me. However, I have been very pleased with the V&H BSS that I have. I still love the look and they sounded good from the start. I threw in some BCT Monster Baffles just for kicks and holt sh*t is it loud! I will probably end up going to the quiet baffles eventually.....

 

They fit, just need the adapters to adapt your 12mm sensors to the 18mm bungs in the pipe, very simple.

 

They said they have done that to a few bikes but they didn't run like they should.

 

2 to 2 is the way to go for dynas in my opinion. As long as you don't get a really short pipe like the short staggered, to raspy and little power gain. But how much power do you really lose from going from a 2 into 1, vs a 2 into 2? 10hp/10tq at the most? You can gain that back by other mods like cams, pistons, timing, valves, lifters, big bore kits 107', there's enough you can do to get that 10hp back and then some, and also keep your dyna looking and sounding way you personally like it.

 

everytime i see someone mention the word bung, i think of beavis and butthead, bung-hole..cornholieo, i need tee-pee for my bunghhole

 

yeah 10hp/10tq doesn't sound like much, but on a bike that only makes ~70-80hp and ~90tq, you're talking a big difference. Maybe the numbers don't matter to some people, but i personally choose function over form. of course you could make up the power, but the cams, pistons, etc cost a lot of money. much more than an exhaust system if you don't do the work yourself. doing what you suggested just doesn't make sense to me.

 

I have to say I was looking in to the Big Radius and was almost sold on them, but decided to ask around about them a little more and then hearing them on a few bikes, I realized that they had a higher pitch sound. Glad I talked to a few people about them and checked them and the Big Shots out on a few bikes. I love the look and sound of the Big Shots Staggered. Just my 2cents

 

Need to be tuned properly.
I agree 10/10 is a lot, but they don't rob that, especially on a stage 1, which I showed in dyno testing. They rob little to nothing. The 10/10 was a made up statistic.
