That's sort of an oxymoron. Most performance minded people don't equate 2-2 pipes with performance. If you want performance, usually most people go to a good 2-1 pipe.

+1 on what he said. I really didnt notice a difference with my vance and hines big shots 2-2. Still has plenty of power and they say the power chamber helps. So they say. Lot of guys are swithing there short shots out because a loss of power though, and switching to 2 into 1 pipes.

I've heard the same - that the V&H 2x1 big radius has more performance, but I like the looks of the 2x2's better. I don't mind the light power loss, it runs plenty fast for me..

I plan on switching to the side shots because they have the power chamber and it's suppose to act like a 2-1. I know it may not be as efficient in performance as a 2-1, but if it's the closet I can get keeping the 2-2 look I'll do it.

My 2-2 2" Cycle Shacks not only look stock (I like that) but they made nearly 10hp more than V&H 2-2 Stepped "Drag" pipes with quiet baffles.....I see nothing on my dyno that a 2-1 pipe would significantly improve; but that's just my particular build...

I'm happy with my Sideshots w/BCT QQ's, no dip at all on the dyno and a good deep tone.

For a 2-2 I've heard good things about the Cycle Shacks and Reinharts. I got some pretty good numbers out of my V&H Straightshots once we pulled out the baffles.
