Default Which pipes

Have a 2009 low rider. Looking to get new pipes for it. Considering the vance and hines big shots or the pro pipe. After power increase and sound. Has anyone used either of these and willing to provide feedback? Thanks!

Both are great pipes and I have used both. The 2-1 propipe will give you more performance and to my ears has a much deeper rumble and is easier on the ears I think mostly because it dumps out by the axle.

The big shots are probably one of the best performing 2-2 but is louder at idle and has a higher pitched sound then the propipe.

I think the propipe is one of the best looking 2-1's out there:

The 2/1 would be the better choice.

Ditto on Hillside's response. The pro pipe will sound nice and give you much better performance over the big shots
