Default Vance & Hines 2 into 1 Pro pipe BP

Does anyone have experience with the 2-1 Pro pipe pictured below?

How does it compare to the 2 into 1 big radius?

How loud is it compared to the 2 into 1 big radius?

How loud is it compared to a stock HD set up?

Thanks!

What are you lookin for out of yer 2in pipe, performance, sound or what.
The Bassani is one of the best 2in1 pipes for performance but its loud. The Supertrapp is another and is tunable and the D&D is another and Thunderheader is another.

The Pro pipe is a good pipe, I just have other choices.

Decesions, decesions, decesions.

I cant compare it to others that I have not ran.
I can say the chrome is good and I like the sound.

The only problem I've had with it is that the muffler clamp would not clamp tight enough to prevent the muffler from moving.Had to drill a hole thru the clamp and muffler inlet and put a screw in.

Its a good pipe, makes good power, loud too, I've run it on my 98" for 22K mi. However the collector/baffle section blued like hell on mine. (and yes my tune is good)

I love mine, great sound, incredible low end response and it fit perfectly! The only suggestion I have is GET HEAT SHIELDS.

Im ruinning the pro pipe bp. It performs better than the Big Radius which i had
also. The sound is mellower and deeper unless you open it up. It will scream.
Actually the pro pipe BP doesnt flow as goos as the old HS because they designed the pipe to be blue proof and they wanted to keep same outside dimensions on it.

The Pro pipe Chrome or The HIgh output are the ones to get now. They outperform
the BP. Thats why they dont make it anymore.

Looking into the Pro Pipe Chrome myself

Thanks. Maybe I got myself confused...I thought the Pro pipe BP WAS the Pro Pipe Chrome. That's what I really want. I was looking for more low end torque than stock, as well as a beefier sound, but I hate super loud pipes. I just got back from a several hour ride with a buddy who has a Boulevard 109 and unbaffled COBRA pipes, and I made him ride behind me...I couldn't take it!
