Default Vance and Hines Big Shots on my 08 Fat Bob

I installed the new pipes last night on my 08 Fat Bob, WOW what a differance...
Entire installation took about 2 hours, just took my time and had a few beers watching the Chargers game in my garage.

I took Photos along the way so if anyone wants to see them i can post them in my gallery, but here is the final result...

Way better sound and it has some seat of your pants feel on increased torque

Those are the pipes I am running now and I really like 'em. I don't get the hp & tq out of them that I did with the Pyton 2-1 but it sounds so much better and the power is in the low to mid rpm range as opposed to the top end.

congrats on the good job.

I, too, had a set of Big Shot Staggered pipes on my Low Rider and I loved the sound and power! Good choice on your pipe selection!
