Having a problem deciding between V&H shot shots or big shots I will install power commander 5 and V&H air cleaner. What do ya think?

2 into 1 is more Dyna style in my opinion. It will also yield higher torque and horse power. Just my .02.

I have short shots, and like them.

2 in to 1, doesn't look right to me. If you can weld or get someone to weld for you, you can get a biltwell pipe kit, use the O2 sensors off stock, and make your own kick *** pipes.

I had a PC3 and it was fine but I have since put the bike on a dyno, pulled out the PC3, and did a direct map (not harley but similar that does every-damn-thing) bike runs 100x better
that's the route I'd suggest someone go.

i like my shortshits, but the bigshots are a better look IMHO, and sends the noise behind the passenger.

If performance is any part of your consideration I wouldn't go with the ShortShots. Lots of noise and nice looking but they fail badly on the dyno.

Bigshots will perform better out of those two, and I personally think they look way better. They have a crossover between the pipes to help scavenging. Still not as good as a true w into 1, but much better than the SS. My brother has them on his FXDWG and they look perfect on that bike.
