I have a streetbob with vance &hines pipes in my garage. Sounds nice, and is quite loud. Although, not the deepest of rumbles.

neither - I'd go with the Rush slipons. Sound great, interchangeable baffles so you can pick your sound and excellent performance. Rush - no contest

+1 on the V&H with quiet baffles. Nice deep tone but has potential to be annoying loud. Not that I would ever do such a thing.

Thanks.

I went form the Bigshot Staggerds to these so I can swap them out real easy for the inspections.

My winter mod was pipes etc. I installed V/H slip ons,SE a/c and fuelpak. Pipes have standard baffles. I've only been able to test for about 50 miles so far here in WI. I really like the sound and performance so far. Again not much run time tho and if needed I can always install the quiet baffles. It's all personal preference. Too loud for some and not enough for others. The looks of the V/H slip ons is sweet!! Good Luck, Mike

I'm really happy with my 3" Cycle Shack slash-cuts. They're really throaty and not horrendously loud unless you get on it.

I have a set of VH SS slip-ons and like them a lot. After installing Rush slip-ons on my buddys bike, I kinda wish I went with those. The rush have a deeper sound to them. I have a PCV and Stage 1 kit on my SG, Fuel Moto sent me the PCV with map already installed, so they do have a map for setting up a Stage 1 with Slip-ons.
