I have the hookers on my standard. I love them. they sound great and really increased the performance over stock pipes. I cant say compaired to big radius. the on thing with the hookers is that they dont have removeable heatsheilds so if you get a nick in the chrome or a wreck you will need new pics. the big radius i think have replaceable heatsheilds.

I think they sound 10000x better than the V&H. The finish isn't as good, but it makes up for it in the sound dept. The sound is deep and throaty. I love them.

Bought mine from fripple, love em to death. I had planned on gettin em ceramic coated black since I have a NT, but I have not gotten around to it yet. Awsome performance. I like the slash downs because they don't look quite like the BR, but very similar. Chrome is a little thin, but who cares, nice deep sound. best 2 & 2 sound imho

I have the Fourbiddens and they look and sound great! Great pipes except the black "ceramic" coating isn't all it's cracked up to be, but still, i'm happy
