I have a 2009 fxcwc with V&H big radius pipes why does my 07 XL1200N with V&H shot shots sound so much meaner then my 1584? When I crack the rocker open its nothing like the sporty even at a idle the sporty sounds better is there a better sounding version of the big radious sweeping pipes by another company?

 

Do you have the stock baffles in the V&H pipes? Thought about removing them?

The Big Radius of course..

You might want to search for threads here, there's a lot of info on baffles and different options like removing or cutting down.

 

Sportsters have always had the better sound. I believe this
Is because they have more aggressive cams.

 

My brothers Nightster with short shots sounded better than my Breakout with the big radius pipes. I thought it was weird also

 

My neighbor has said that my Sporty with Samson ripsaws sounds better than his Dyna with Screaming Eagle mufflers.

 

my sporty sounded way better than my super glide. my fb lo has a deeper sound, but I iv'e has short shots on all three cause I like the look, but the sporty sounded the best.

 

I ride a 04 Fatboy with V&H radius and took my girlfriend's (my old) 04 1200R with V&H for a rip not long ago. Gotta say I love how the sportster sounds. Didn't put much thoughts in it but figured it might have something to do with the engine of the fatboy being balanced.

 

Why? because we love you M O U S E

 

Yea I have the stock V&H baffles in both It must be the cams since obviously the old statement of "Ain't no replacement for displacement" doesn't ring true.
I had the misconception that the larger engine would be alot more throatY... ill just make my own words up here.

And just LOL "Why? because we love you M O U S E".

 

lol.....
