python pipes?
the chrome consultant at my dealership says these are made by vance & hines but are sold through drag specialties, and that they sound better and DEEPER. does anyone have any experience with these pipes, and if they really do have a nicer, better sound that vance & hines pipes? thanks for any advice or input on this...

RE: python pipes?
yeah, i'm not making that up, that was totally his official title at the dealership. and i went to two dealerships - one in gladstone, the other in beaverton - and they both had "chrome consultants" there who are supposed to be the specialists in helping you customize your bike. but to be honest, the guy i talked with didn't know if 06 vance & hines pipes would work on an 07 dyna. he also recommended the pythons, but i actually like the look of the v&h big shots better. but i'll ultimately make the decision based on sound quality more than aesthetics. any knowledge along these lines would be really appreciated.

My wife's Heritage Classic has the Python Staggered Duals and I think they sound better than my V&H pipes.

I had Python and V&H slip-ons on my 05 Sporty. The Pythons were louder and had an all around better sound than the V&H. And yest they are made by V&H. Look at some of the V&H ads and then compare them to the Python pics in Drag Specialities. Same bikes in the same position.

RE: python pipes?
Yes, it's a much deeper sound. I love the V&H look on my bike, but I wish they sounded more like the Pythons.

RE: python pipes?
Chattigre, these pipes ARE made by V&H for Drag. The only real difference is, the tips on the Big Shots are removeable and on the Pythons they are not. If I remember correctly there is a little difference in the baffle also. The Pythons also sell for about 50 to 60 dollars less than the V&H. Check out the link below, great price, free shipping and usually ship same day if they get your order before 3PM. Eastern is also a sponsor of this board and I try to support our sponsors. They have always treated me right.
