There's looks and there's pipes. Start here: It's a good general video on the subject. Applies to EFI bikes too . . .

Did they talk you into the Big radius 2 into 1? Either way if you don't want them call back and tell them no. I wouldn't be paying for pipes if I didn't like the look or sound of them.

If I'm not mistaken they have 2 different BS. One has the power chamber and one doesn't.

Figuired it out. Its big shots but they have the power chamber. Therefore its kind of a two into one effect but its dual pipes. They are for my 08 street bob and should be fantastic. Thanks for all the good input. Good forum. I like it
