RE: nighttrain pipes
Sound and looks opinions are gong to vary from person to person. Personally I think the best LOOKING set of pipes for a Softail are the Samson RipSaws. The new Big Gun 3's are now out, and available in the RipSaws. They have better heat shields, and baffles. I have no clue how they sound though.

I have slash down Screamin Eagle 2 slip-ons on my Night Train. I love the way they look, sound and perform.
Cheers!

RE: nighttrain pipes
I have a 2000 Night train which had a Thunderheader 2 into 1. I thought it looked likke a chrome outrigger. I got a set of V&H big Radius and had them turned black. Love the look, sound great, and didn,t notice any perforrmance change on my 95" stage 2. I'll try and include a picture. Ernie-Seattle

I had screamin Eagle on my 00 heritage classic and now have thunderheader. Sounds nice and mellow withn a deep throaty sound. Had to back off on the throttle when first put on. could really notice the change in power.
