Default V&H Short Shots

My dealer is closing out stock on various V&H mufflers and pipes. The only thing in the pile that applies to me is a set of chrome short shots. Not my first choice but I'll admit I do like how they look. Anyway, they are offering them at $381 out the door. My thought was possibly doing those along with DK customs TTI's.

What's the consensus on these at that price? Is it a deal or is it "move along folks"?

Another thought after calling DK customs is possibly gutting my muffler and then adding the TTI's. I have the feeling that might be too hollow sounding and too much loss of low end torque.

What say yee?

They're certainly not doing you any sort of favors with that price...

The #1800-1416 V&H Short Shot's for '12 - up are $381.95 shipped for free from Phat Performance... stay away from the dealer and buy what you really want; the dealer's only job is to separate you from as much money as they can all the while making you believe they're your best friends

TTIs are a great choice for Short Shots.

I lucked out on my short shots a dealer was having a clearance event and there was a set brand new in the box for $200. and I still paid too much. After dealing with the exhaust for about a year I finally decided to get the dk customs TTI, and... still hate them. I vote hard pass

If I had em ld get a chrome set and scotch brite em. THEN,put a band saw to the ends and cut the bologna off the ends to look like this. Then they wouldn't look like all the others out there.
