Default Big Decision to Make ...Help

Okay Guys ...

Im torn !
I want to get a new Exhaust system for my 2006 Dyna Street Bob, but there is just so many to choose from. Some look better than others other perform better the others and some just are useless ! Its hard to choose because of not only those points but price!

I have narrowed it down to a couple that I may like

Black - VANCE & HINES SHORTSHOTs- $389 / Free Shipping
http://www.rideshack.com/Vance-and-H...tshotblack.htm




Black - VANCE & HINES SIDESHOTS - $569 / Free Shipping
Vance and Hines Side Shots




Black -Vance & Hines Big Radius - $649.95 / Free Shipping
VANCE AND HINES BIG RADIUS 2-INTO-2 FOR HARLEY-DAVIDSON MODELS




And Of Course not my favorite Looking Pipe but Everyone tells me I should get … the THUNDERHEADER !
$689.99 + the Cost of Heat Shields or Exhaust wrap
Thunderheader 2-1 Exhaust System



My Current Set Up …
Stock header Pipes that have been gutted with Vance and Hines Slip on mufflers with no baffle installed. ( I like it loud ! )



So the real question here is do I WAIT and stash enough money away to get a Thunderheader … or would a system like the Shortshorts work pretty well ? any feedback would be greatly appreciated !

just my opinion but I think Thunderheaders look a bit ghetto. JUST MY OPINION. As far as the V&H pipes go I think the sideshots would look best. I kinda wish I had gotten those for my bike.

I like the looks of the short shots alot but they dont preform very well at all.

I love my D&D Fatcat but if were to buy another exhaust it would be the V&H Big Radius 2-1. We just ordered one for a buddies Rocker that should be here tomorrow.

I personally think the side shots would look badass on your scoot.

Got the Big Radius 2-1 from Dennis Kirk for $559 in chrome, I think the black was more but not sure.

Yes the D&D Fatcat also comes in black.

Of those choices I like the look of the Big Radius' myself. But you're right, for performance you can't beat the Thunderheader.
