V&H/Python3

I'm looking at pipes for a 06 Fatboy. I like the style of the Vance bigshot staggard and the Python3 it's similar. If I read correctly the Python is more of a performance pipe and is also louder. I'd like to get some feedback on the 2 pipes if there are any pros and cons between the 2

Thanks

heck - I can't offer you any technical guidance here - all I can tell you was when I was debating between the various options - I got the Vance Hines Longshots. Sales guy said that they could set me up with whatever I wanted but that the Pythons were going to cost more. Unfortunately, $$ did rule. But the VH longs are plenty loud for me.

check out porker perf pipes, they have a deep sound and the turn down @ the end keeps the noise out of your buddies face...

RE: V&H/Python3

do they have baffles or are they straight outs, because of the turn down

I believe the two exhausts are actually one and the same..I heard rumors those pythons are actually made by V&H. I may be totally wrong. Either way, I'd get the V&H's.. I think they're finished nicer. The staggered bigshots are a great exhaust system with the crossover.

Here is an older and a newer pic of my 04 Fatboy with V&H Big Shots

The Big shots lined up extreamly well and have no uneven gaps along the lenght of the pipes.

I love them, they took away a few trouble areas too boot.
They don't heat up the wifes ankle like the stockers and allowed for the installation of all kinds of saddlebags and options.
