I have an 02 FXST as well and went from the SE II to the Vance and Hines short shot staggered then after some engine work finally have the Bassani Pro Streets. Still have the Short Shots if interested.

Yep... love the Big Shot Staggereds. I really like the looks of the Radius moreso, but wanted something a little quieter. The stock baffles are pretty darn loud, so I got the "quiet baffles" for them. I removed the glass wrap, and they quieted it down just a tad and gave it a little lower pitch, just right for what I wanted.

Decisions, decision, decisions!

Get a set of D&D FAT CAT OR BOARZZILLA with performance baffle 2 in 1 header, you will get noticed and set off car alarms too! And you will get a lot more H.P. & Tourqe. PURPLE HAZE.

V&H BSS. Everyone seems to think they are about the perfect exhaust noise. The radius sound a little better I think, but just last week a buddy laid them on the pavement on a right turn. The BSS don't give you that clearance problem...
