Default Exhaust Help
I had pretty much decided on the Big Radius pipes when the time came. I bought slip-ons to get me by but I am about ready to switch out. Now that I have been looking I can buy the Short Shots for about half the price and I also like the looks of them.

So guess I looking for opinions on which you would thinks look better on my bike. Also I am guessing the Short shots will be pretty loud but are they really loud or just loud.

I would get the short shots. I you spend anymore than that, than get a good performing 2-into-1 pipe.

I like my short shots. They have done good. They are loud when you roll on the throttle.

From the angle you took the picture from, the Big Radius would match the curve of your new bars. I would go with them.
