Default Which Exhaust?????????

Just took delivery of a Rocker C. Wanted to know which exhaust do you guys think would be better the V&H Big Radius or the V&H Big Radius 2 into 1?
I like the sound of the Big Radius, but the look of the 2 into 1.

Glad you asked this question, I am having the same problem. Like the sound of one and the look of the other. I personnally am going to go with the 2 into 1 VH, But at the end of the day it's your call. Good Luck

I don't think that would look to good on a Blue Bike. But it does look good.

That is the way that I am leaning as well. I really like the looks of the 2 into1.

Personally, I think the rocker needs a regular 2-into-1 system. It's a pro-street style bike. In my opinion, pro-street style bikes should be about performance and a look sleek look. A 2-into-1 exhaust would give it the performance, and if it's a straight style it will add a lower look to the bike.

I just signed the deal on my 08 night train and i am getting the hooker troublemakers. they sound way deeper and throaty compared to the big radius. I would check them out if i were you. I was going to get the big radius but then heard the troublemakers and love the sound.
