Default Exhaust help

So I'm having a hard time deciding what exhaust I want for my 2012 wide glide. I really like the Vance and Hines "big radius 2-into-2" But I also really like the "big radius 2-into-1". I cant seem to find any photos of a 2012 wide glide with the 2-into-1 exhaust maybe you guys could help me with that. Also what advice do you guys have about exhaust systems?

Thanks
Rodney

Vance and Hines makes an excellent exhaust that is actually made in the USA unlike a lot of other popular choices. I have seen several sets of used 2-1 big radius for sale that had scratches from scraping the ground while leaning the bike so if you are an aggressive rider you might be better with the 2-2.

Here is a video:

You can find videos and pictures of just about any pipes on any bike with a google search, google images is great for pictures. Seems some guys love their bikes so much they post them on youtube.

IMO V&H sound great @ idle but noisey as hell as soon as you open up a bit. Check my exhaust it looks great sounds amazingly warm and is also made in the U.S. It's a bub 7 2:1 and it's the foot pegs which hit the round first, not the pipes in my case!

Cant comment on the Big Radius pipes, but if you are considering other options, I love my BSS, great sound and look IMO.

Ive looked on google images but didnt find what I was looking for. But I seem to have forgot about youtube for some reason. After some time looking at all the different options this morning its going to make this choice even harder haha.

Thanks
Rodney

Ditto on the Bub 7, noticeable increase on mid range torque makes 6th gear much more useable

I have Big Radius 2in2 and I'm going to sell them. They're in great shape. I haven't put them up for sale yet as I'm waiting until the new ones are on. I would pm (personal message) you but with only 4 posts it won't work. Not sure how many posts you have to have to be able to pm.
