I've got a TC88 with a carb and gear cams. I have V&H staggered slash cuts and they sound pretty damn good all things considered.

1. 2" Slash cut drag pipes
2. Upswept slash cut drag pipes
3. Shotgun drag pipes (evo Fatboy style)

This Twin Cam oozes old school..hopefully the kicker isn't one of those fake electric starter switches.

This is my V&H staggered with powder coated black slash cut tips. Thunder Monster baffles inside for a deep rumble.
