My V&H Shortshots Staggered Black have been on back order since Dec 7th...........[:@]

 

Well - there's a wide range of V&H, and only a couple of Rinehart. I will comment on the models I have tried.

I have tried V&H BSS with standard baffles
I have tried V&H BSS with quiet baffles
I just installed Rinehart 2-2 flush, but only used them for a brief 15 minute ride (cold here which is OK - snow here which is not OK).

My nod would go to the Rineharts. I don't think the finish is as good as the V&H, but they sound better, deeper, throatier.

I disliked the V&H BSS so much that prior to buying the Rineharts, I took them off in favor of my old setup with SEII slipons.

Just my opinion - plenty of members here love the BSS, I'm just not one of them.

 

Got Rinehart 2 into 1 Awesome sound and good power
Only issue is end cap turned from black to purple but who cares???

 

I like both vance and hines and rinehart. There is just one problem everyone has them.They aresort of like a$$ holes.I have a lsr 2-1 pipelove it. They make it when you place your order andthey are pretty close to the same price.

 

I have Rinehart’s 2 into 1.
Great sound and power in all gears.
If I had to do it over I would go with an inexpensive slip-ons.

 

I don't think you could go wrong with either. As you said, they all sound great. Go with the one that pleases your eye and your wallet. I like the looks and the sound of my Big Radiuses.
