Default Another exhaust question

Did a search on this with few results I was looking for. After watching many you tube videos, I really like the sound of the V & H 2 into 1. Not my favorite looking pipe, but sound beats looks. What can I expect after having these installed? I thought I heard better power than say the 2 into 2's. Right now-stock exhaust. Experience and input would be appreciated.

My input would be don't buy exhaust based on sound that you have heard on youtube.

Default Vance Hines 2 into 1

Had those pipes on my 04 Fatty and they were loud and always had popping on decel even with a VH tuner so I switched to Samson Calibers. I like the look better and they are slightly quieter, paired with a PCIII the bike runs great.

Never said I was going to buy pipes based on you tube videos, I said I liked the sound from the videos. That's a starting point. Where's the pic of your scoot??? 914 post and haven't figured out how to post a pic yet?

Nope I have not figured that out yet. Sorry you got offended I was only responding based on your statement on what to expect "after having these installed" sounded to me that you were pretty set on that exhaust and although you might be perfectly satisfied with the exhaust , after is a pretty bad time to find out that they sounded totally different on youtube.
