Default PYTHON 2-1 any good?

PYTHON, so-called 'sister'Co.to V&H has 2-1 pipes for '07 08 dynas. they say at ACM these are 'new' for dynas and sell for less than $400. Anybody heard/have these? are they any good?

I hear they work great. You can get those same pipes from eastern performance or even J&P cycle, these 2 companies ship quicker and the price is the same with them. They will also handle any discrepancies much quicker than ACM.

I hear the vance and hines 2 into 1 are notorious for a flat spot in the torque curve and rinehart does not have this prob. Just what I heard.

Here is the Ebay link, i was wrong, they are at Eastern

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VANCE...em140210498465

The bidding will start again, it always does,
see, they say PYTHON,and then call it a sister V&H co.

thanks for your input

I bought the Pythons 2 into 1 from ACM for my Wide Glide. They were great pipes, I loved them.

Pythons are made by V&H to be distributed by Drag Specialties.

OK! I gt them this week!!, took ACM (It was ACM where I gotthem) a week, but not bad...I got the old exhaust off now and ready to put on new...question..what's the best way to remove the old exhaust gaskets that are still squished into the heads?? just pry em out?? also, those 'C" ring things, I had to bend the old ones off, should those things just be able to slip on ahead of the clamp somehow?? Dum questions, but I'm learnin' ! Thanks!

I would replace the gaskets with Screaming Eagle ones. If you did't bend the clips too much they should not be a problem to reuse. I have learned the hard way, when in doubt I just replace something I am not comfortable with, better than having to take it all down again later.
